| Going for a walk... Ok, really stupid question here. I just wanted to know if you guys walk in the same direction every day when you take the pups out to potty? I pretty much follow the same route every day and Nikko knows exactly which way to turn when we hit the corner. Is it okay to change the route every once in awhile or will that disturb him? He poops in the exact spot on the same block every day. Sometimes I feel like changing things up but I don't know if he will refuse to poop if we go anywhere else. Any ideas?

| I'd give a different route a try and see what happens.Do you use a command for going to the toilet?If so,it should still work.Otherwise start off on your normal route and vary after the event. I have arange of different walks depending on the weather,time and day,but we potty in the garden.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Mine seem to like to go the same route. We end up at a gaebo with a big pond so they like that. Cali is trained inside so it isn't a problem going in the same spot. I would give it a try, I think Niko will befine.

| You could try. If a yorkie doesn't want to do something, then they won't do it. So, if you take him to another spot and he doesn't go, then take him back to his original spot. I tried taking Hobbs to a different spot, and he just turned around and ran to his original spot!!! Yorkies will do what they wanna do. |

| We walk the same route everyday but really because I know there aren't a lot of dogs going that way. I am always so nervous about him and other big dogs. I would like to change it up though just for different scenery.
