How many Yorkie's Run? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My previous yorkies never ran, but i never had them fenced. right from babies they stuck by me. These guys are both babies yet and have pretty much always been fenced so I don't trust them.

I think obedience class might help with a running problem. Teaching them to stay near you and to stay where you put them, and to come when called. I'm taking mine to classes now, I hope it helps.

Most of the ones that have been lost were frightened by something.

I let Paddy off his lead the second time I went out for a walk with him at 14 weeksold.the first time I tied his harness to Megans harness,she just plods round and he walked just fine with her,then I let him off and he just stayed by her. Maybe its as we had Paddy at 5 1/ 2 weeks and he took Meg on as surrogate mother but hes never bolted! He gets plenty of attention wherever we go anyway so figures he doesnt need to run away!

Mine don't run (knock on wood - at least they haven't ever tried). Charlie most certainly isn't currently a runner. Heck, he is so scared of being outdoors off the leash (in the backyard) that he glues himself to the backdoor. Only place he runs is straight back into the house!
