| Scooter walks really well on the leash; however, I don't really like to walk him by myself because with all the kidnapping going on, I'm afraid someone will try to take him. I'd have to really hurt someone then! |

Donating YT Addict | My Baby really loves to go for walks. He took to it right away. He walks along beside me on a loose lead but will kind of wander off and switch sides if something catches his eye. For 13 weeks he's doing really well. I'm so proud of him We have tons of snow and really bad weather right now here in Maine so we can't get out to often or for to long but we can't wait for Spring!

| I walk my three every chance I get (wheather permitting, not for them but for me - LOL), Chewy the eldest and biggest of my dogs pulls like crazy and I've bought him a special harness which helps a lot, while the other two are great walkers, they walk by my side and are well behaved. And when we do get to go for walks they are much more relaxed and easy going. When we don't go for walks they tend to fight amongst themselves (too much energy!!) |

| I feel the same way... I love taking Meka for walks, but have to admit it's not on a regular basis, for the same reasons. Im affraid of someone following us home and trying to steal my baby. Infact, I usually only walk her if the DH comes out with us... so mostly, we run around the house for excersize. There's a dog park I'd like to take her to when its better weather But for now, I'd much rather be safe than sorry

| I try and try and try and Lucy just doesn't like taking walks. If we are out of town she will go out to do her business on a leash but other than that she likes her back yard. Welcome

| Remi and I walk one to two miles per day, weather permitting. He walks using a harness leash when he is permitted "playtime". Otherwise he has been attending dog school obedience training and walks heel with his special collar and leash. |

I have never heard of someone kidnapping a Yorkie on a walk. Is this something that has been happening lately? | |

| Hot Rod loves to go for walks and weather permitting, we go everyday. He tends to wander in front, back and side. He gets distracted quickly. We have a bunch of other dogs here (I think he can smell them inthe air) and then we have tons of deer around and I know he can smell them. Sometimes he walks really fast to where we start trotting and then running. We start puppy school in a week so hopefully he will learn to not pull on the leash so much.
