Walking your Yorkie! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Walks are great, but I limit the lengths of them. Sometimes my furkids really get tired and just need a break.
When we camp, we do a lot of walking. I can tell if the dogs seem tired, so when they are, we will use the stroller for our walk. They LOVE it. They "take turns" sitting in the front while the other one lays down in the back. It is so funny watching them...... it is almost like they are a tag team!!!
Maybe try shorter walks for the ones that need a little coaxing. (to the mailbox and back.... or to the end of the driveway ) It might just be they some "conditioning"?

Simon on the other hand walks 3 miles with me every night. I either let Hallie stay home or carry her in her sling carrier. I make her walk a little way b/c she really needs the exercise (she's prone to being chubby) but she turns around and tries to go home the whole way

Murphy said to tell Hallie - he knew she was smart

- walks are totally over rated he fells - ha, ha ~ LOL!!

Sounds like Murphy and Hallie would hit it off and Mia and Simon would hit it off!!

OMG Sonja that is so cute - ha, ha .... I just love her little booties. What an adorable girl you have there!!
