How much/far do you walk your Yorkie? Hello all! I thought I would stop by and say hi - I love this forum but, right when I got really into it, my mom passed away and my life has gotten really chaotic since then. But, I'm still raising Cujo, and he's doing great! He's 12 weeks old this week, and I was wondering how often do you all walk your doggies? I usually take a 2 mile walk every day, and wanted to bring him along. So far, I let him walk the first mile, and then carry him for the last mile. He gets water breaks, in case he gets thirsty. He seems to like the walks so far. When he gets home, he usually will take a nap. I kinda like getting some of his energy out this way! What do you all do for exercise? Thanks, Debbie :animal36 |
Walk I want to take mine along. But my boy Jack is in the process of getting all his shots. Once the rabies has been administered, I will take him on walks. But the vet advised me to not bring him places where other dogs may have been. When he is ready probably a couple times around the block. :) :aimeeyork Jack and Mandy's Mom :jump28ib: :happyboun |
im so so sorry about your mom. may god bless you and be there for you through this tough time... you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. im glad your back.... |
We have been going for walks when it cools down. We take a 1.5 mile rout. I have my niece in her stroller and when Gus tired he will jump in the back basket located on the bottom of the stroller. He does this once in a while but most of the he will walk the whole way. |
I walk my dogs around our block everyday. |
A Mile!!! WOW, most of mine won't walk a block, they want in the stroller or to be carried, but that is my fault. A mile is a long walk for a little Yorkie...too hot here. |
I've haven't taken annie on a long walk in awhile as we have been busy... But when I was training for a 5k (3.5 mile) she would go on jogs with me with no problem. She is about 5-6 lbs and at that time she was probably 10-12 months. But even from maybe 4-6 months on she would go on very long walks. We live in the NYC area so walking is what we do... :D She has a blast... And when she was too little, she would let us know when she was tired... She would just plop her littly hiney down and wouldn't move... :rolleyes: So I'm sure you'll know when you're little one has had enough! You'd be surprised, what they can take... When we would get home from our runs, I'd be dieing and she'd be like are you kidding we're done? ;) |
We walk across the street....LOL. Seriously that is the only walk Trace ever goes on. Fortunately, we have an acre back yard, there's no need for walks cause he gets plenty of excerise in the back yard. I'm sorry for your loss. My mother died 14 years ago and I still miss her every day :( |
I take Coco for short walks, like 30 minutes walks. She gets tired after about 20 and starts jumping up my leg to be picked up...like a baby...what a spoiled princess I have..hehe |
I don't walk Shelby. We live on 10 acres and I go outside every day and she just runs to her hearts content out there. My family's chow/golden retriever mix is in a pen out there and Shelby will run around the pen and Belle will follow her from inside the pen it is like their game. And they both get excercise. |
Bella goes out at least 5 times a day and visits the dog park once or twice a week. We usually take her around the block or across the street to the park when we walk her to do her business and play. |
Maximus gets a 15 minute walk in the morning before work and a 30 min walk when I get home...on my bf's day off he goes to the park for about an hour...to walk and play and I also take him on the weekends tot he park for about an hour...also he goes basically everywhere with me (post office, cleaners, laundramat)..so he gets a fair amoutn of exercise...HE LOVES IT!!!!...just make sure that your baby has all his vaccinations because I know Maximus is a Nosy little one and would eat the grass if I let him |
When i take them to the mall they walk part of the time and ride in the stroller or are carried the rest. At the park, we play but really not just walking. My daughter takes Buddha on walks but not too far. |
every morn around 620a.m. - 6:50 a.m. we walk for like 3 -4 city blocks plus and avenue... and every tuesday we walk to puppy class which is like 20 blocks from my apt. b4 i was worried due to the heat and first time walking too far that i would carry him most of the way. he loves to run crossing the streets so ive been getting a work out too .. ive lost like 4 lbs ... eeeeeeeek this past tuesday he practically walked all the way home. i think our walks are building up his stamina but once we get home he is completely KNOCKED OUT!!! LIGHTS OUT... PUT A FORK IN HIM HES DONE ... OUT!!! SO FUNNY! |
I generally take Deegan for a 15 minute walk before work, and then another 30min-45min walk in the evening. Give or take at night. But I don't know what I am going to do in the winter. I hate the snow and that crappy weather. I usually hibernate all winter long. From the house door, to the car door, to the work door. That's it. I will have to find another way to tucker him out durign those cold months... it's coming soon too! |
:thumbup: This is all good to know. I live in Seattle and it's very cool here. My yorkie loves the walks so far. I take him to the beach too and we walk along the shore. It's kinda nice! Thanks for the kind words about my mom - helps a lot to know that people care :) |
I take the girls to the a park near our house. That is a few blocks away. |
i take rosie for a 10 min walk in the morning then for 30 mins in the evening were i walk her there is lots of grass for her to run around on, when she gets home she goes to sleep for about 2 hours its so funny. so sorry to here about your mum, i lost my dad last october and we were very close i still feel the pain of the loss a great deal wendy and rosie :rose: :yorkiesar |
I'm still working on taking walks with Olivia. She's been really stubborn this week and either puts the breaks on and refuses to move or sits down in every lawn to sniff. Yesterday I felt like I was walking a beagle, becuase Olivia couldn't move an inch without finding a new scent that was the most exciting thing ever. So, lately we've only been going for short "carries" on our street! |
we walk bentley about a mile a day! |
Oops... double post |
1 Attachment(s) ;) "We" walk about 4 miles a day and "we" will be hiking about the same amount a couple times next month. see photo She gets to walk/run the last couple of blocks. |
we usually take nugget on a mile to a mile and a half walk....we stop half way so he can rest and always bring water for him...he always does great! his favorite thing to do is chase joggers lol |
Lots of walkers here. Or is it "walkies"??? Does anyone else remember that british dog trainer who always said "walkies!"? |
It depends on the weather for us.....when it is hot how it has been we usually dont go on one except for maybe one at night after dinner we walk a few blocks into town (6 blocks to and then back) but we take breaks and that.....usually I can tell if she is getting tired and needs a "lift" in the winter we walk several times a day but shorter......Gidget is quite the trooper but then again my son likes to sit and watch the cars go by and that so we get breaks in. But I would recomend to wait till your pup had all their shots.....I didnt even think about that till my mom brought that up to me...better to be safe then sorry. |
Well, we bought two lines of rope that are 100 feet long each and fasten them to Gracie and Sampson and take them out in the yard, 3 acres, and let them go nuts. We do live in a developement so we really have to watch that they don't go in the street. We could see that they really wanted to run and be loose, so we came up with this idea. It works great - they get to run and they are safe. |

I think if you're going at his pace and you're picking him up and carrying him when he seems tired, you're doing it right. When you get home and he still has as much energy as he did when you left, you'll know he can take more. I have two 16-week old puppies now and I've been relying on them to play and exercise each other. With the beautiful summer weather, they're at it most of the day. They have amazing muscle tone. They feel like a wild animal in my hands. What I will do when the rain starts again, I'm not sure. The adults usually get 2-3 exercise times during the day when they chase around in the yard. I want to extend my condolences on the loss of your mother. It can be tough, but I can't think of a better companion for grieving than a Yorkie pup. CJ |
I take Bruce for a very short walk around our development to potty in the morning before he goes to daycare, this is only about 10 minutes. The he runs around all day at daycare. At night he usually naps for a while after daycare and then I tkae him on a longer walk of 45minutes to an hour depending on his energy level. We then take a short walk right before bed. Saturdays and Sundays he gets all his short walks but we usually go to the off leash park for 2 hours or so. |
Walks Sydney goes on a 15 block walk every day. I don't know what that is in miles. But she loves it. She usually runs full speed for most of it...and if she tires out toward the end she will walk beside me. |
thanks for the info, I am going to start taking Starsky for walks since it is starting to cool down. |
