Walking your yorkies When I watch my friend's yorkie, I walk him three times a day.. even rainy day because that is what my friend does everyday for her dogs. So I thought it is what everyone does. Then I learned that some people walk their yorkies a couple times a week. Which means... you let your yorkies poop at home? I am just curious! |
Yep, Rowdy poops at home. He has a doggie door into a fenced yard and can go in and out anytime he wants. We do walk him but only about once per day or every other day. |
It is too cold here for us to walk everyday. Both of mine are potty trained to use pads so that is not an issue and days that we can't walk we play a lot inside for exercise and they go to daycare during the day! When it is warm we go for walks twice a day morning and evening! |

My friend's yorkie is not fully potty tained.. and her shih tzu wouldn't go to poop until she takes her outside.. I can see the importance of potty training! :) for cold days in New England! |
When Willow comes home i will be walking her atleast once per day if weather permits. As far as pooping at home yes i would prefer her to poop at home. I hate seeing my neighbors dogs poop in my yard(they let them out to run unsupervised all hours of the night too) If Willow poos in someone else yard i will pick it up To me its the right thing to do. |
Thor gets walked at least twice a day. He also has access to a big back yard, where he poops! :) But yes, he gets walks in the rain, or whatever the weather is. I can't wait for snow!! |

Bouncer won't even get halfway around the block before he "puts on the brakes" He literally sticks his front feet out, sits his butt down and will not walk. lmao anywhere else he will, but not around the block. haha So he only gets walked when we go to get lunch at work. |
It's too cold for walks here right now, although we got a 50 degree day last week and went for a walk. When it's warm I take him for a walk after work for sure, sometimes before work if we wake up early and sometimes if he's lucky my husband will take him at lunch time. Otherwise, he is housetrained and goes out the front door on a 26 foot leash and does his thing. Yep, even in the rain and snow. We shoveled the yard for him! He doesn't mind the cold or snow, it's his humans who don't like it! So he poops in the front yard and I pick it up every 2 days or so. |
I take my pup out only occasionally - but regardless of the weather - cold, wet, rainy - whatever - he fights to stay outside. I did take him out a couple times when it was too cold for me. He was wearing a coat - and definitely wanted to stay out longer than I did. Carol Jean |
That toilet idea is awesome! I'll share that dream with you michiko! hehe :D But for now we are working on the pee pee pads...I'd say a few more years and Reyna should get it! hehe :aimeeyork |
2 Attachment(s) We also have a doggy door and a huge yard with 8 - 10 foot fence - board on board. The three gates are padlocked shut as we found one open one day. Since the pups were babies, we took them to the back part of the yard (we call it the \'big yard\', where we sit and watch them run and play. They love the sprinklers and the rain. We had one 3 day freeze, otherwise the weather is usually good and they love to be outside playing in the bushes and flowers. We also have a chain-link fenced dog-run turned garden which they love to get in and bark at each other through the fence. We only walk Bronx extra as he put on 3 pounds after being neutered and on steroids for an ear infection. |
Gus does his biz here at home. We sometimes go for walks but it\'s been so dry and windy here. My skin is so dry and gets even worse evertime I have to walk out the door. Yesterday I was cleaning the pool because of all the damn wind. It\'s a mess! No sooner after I clean it, it\'s a mess again and doesn\'t even look like I cleaned it at all. And mean while my skin is taking a beating. And my poor Gus comes in looking like a little puff ball. His hair gets so staticy every time he comes in from being outside. I have to remember to rub him down with faberic softener sheets before I pet him because I get shocked everytime. No walks till this dry air and wind goes away for us. And every time I have to take him out to the yard to do his thing, I lube up with face cream first so that it doent get worse and have a sheet ready to rub him down when he comes in! |
Joey poops in the backyard. If he poops on a walk, I pick it up and dispose of it. You do, too, don\'t you? So, one is as nasty as the other! |
I fenced in my backyard. I don\'t have a doggy door because I have some inside only cats that would use it too. The dogs let me know when the want to go out. They have 1/2 acres yard to romp and run in. :D |
