BE HONEST! How often do you walk your yorkie? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

It depends on the weather and what I have going on. Today I wanted to walk him, but I had to work after school and just got home about 20mins ago. After standing on my feet at work, and it being so late, I don't want to take him now. If the weather is nice and I have time before work/school or after, then I take him. Plus my friend who lives down the street usually takes him for a walk once a week, and if my bf has time he'll take him.

Lola & Sophie hate walks! They do not want anything to do with a leash or collar. We have a huge backyard and they are outside running around out there most of the day!

I have a huge backyard that mine play in everyday!! My border collie chases a ball and they chase her, so she excercises them for me. Usually by the time we go inside they take an afternoon nap and wake up ready to eat a good dinner!!!

Amanda7 · 05-13-2007, 03:56 PM

Weather permitting, they get a 45 min walk most days. They walk really well on the leash now, but it took a lot of practice. On days they get walked, they crash after dinner and sleep till the next morning!

Thanks guys! Anyone else?

So far Roo refuses to walk on her leash! We take her out usually once a night and let her run with us on the driveway (we live out in the country so it's long and she can't even make it the whole way down the driveway without getting tired!). Although, she hops and skimpers more than she walks- she's so good though- without a leash she still just follows along behind and never tries to go anywhere she's not supposed to- if we get too far ahead she gets all excited and winds up for a run to catch up! So cute =)

She's 3 months and yes it is adorable. And we just found out yesterday- she's only 1.12 pounds- so to see her try to run with the "big dogs" (my other baby is about 35 lbs)- is really cute. She also likes to eat out of the other dog's food dishes which she could fit in with room to spare! The dogs just don't know what to do with her- occassionally Taya'll try to play with Roo but they're just such different sizes! Anyway it's adorable!

I have a fenced in yard. I go out on the deck and Mojo runs around the yard and plays with Koda (my great pyranese) They are pretty good buddies. but he doesnt really need to be walked he runs around in the yard.
