| How often do you walk your Yorkies? I know they need alot of socialization and interaction with other people... but i was wondering what is a normal amount of times a week all to take out your yorkies to play , outside of the house/yard.. We take Lulu out maybe 4 times a week, and thats to the nearby regional park with trails and alot of other dogs. |

| We probably walk a few times a week, but Mojo is out in the yard playing hard everyday. I think if he didn't get to run everyday, he'd literally be bouncing off the walls. Now if we could just get it to stop raining here, I'd probably walk him everyday. We play fetch a few times a day and run around with him in the backyard. He's very high energy, but when he gets his exercise, he is extremely well behaved.

| ZoE loves being outside, so I usually take ZoE out pretty much every day. Either for a walk for just to hang out in the yard while I'm weeding and watering or dead-heading flowers. Unfortunately, it's rained here pretty much every day for the past week or two, so we've hardly been out at all.

| My boys can't hang out in our yard because we have too many poisonous/dangerous things, so we walk at least a mile twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I also take them to the park or on some kind of outing at least once a week.

| I take Paris for a walk/play in our garden 3 or 4 times a day... I just dont let her alone outside because I'm scared of foxes trying to get her. |

| We only take Zhoie when we are in the mood for a walk. She goes but there is no excitement, I can tell she's not a big fan of walking. However, we have a large fenced in backyard and we are out running and playing ball/ball everyday (if weather permits). Even then, she's runs hard, plays hard...but when she's done, she wants in or up on the swing. We spend alot of time togerther in our canopy swing. She begs to swing, loves it and I'm good with that .

| We live way out in the country on a farm so my guys just get walked here. There are no dog parks within 50 miles to take them to play. We take a walk from our house up our long driveway(about 1 mile) that goes back to the barns every evening if the weather permits. It has been raining so much lately they have only got to go on about 3 or 4 walks in the last couple of weeks. They love their walks and all I have to say is who wants to go for a walk and they both bolt to the door and stand waiting for me to put their harness on them.

| Not very often- a walk is kind of a last resort form of exercise here- it does nothing for mine- they really need to have space to run and play.

| We walk 5 days a week unless it's rainy or something else comes up. Generally speaking it's about 2.5-3 miles per day. Weekends are spent either at my dads house with their dogs and fenced yard and pool, so he does a ton of swimming on the weekends and of course a crapload of running, and we visit the dog park twice a week or so... plus other things that happen on occasion, like visiting pet stores or other family members homes or something.

| Teddy gets walked 3 miles a day every single day. If he doesn't get walked, he starts whining/needs stimulation. Some days he gets walked 4-5 miles.

| Usually at least once a day, sometimes twice. I haven't gone in a walk with her in awhile because of all the rain, and I don't have a backyard (we live in an apartment) so I've just been doing small fetch-games inside. |
