Question: Walking a Puppy
 

I would say 15-20 minutes is good for a start. Adult yorkies can walk alot longer but I would work my way into that

Hey! This I have some knowledge in. I started with my oldest by walking him for 20 minutes. Then it easily became 2-5 mile walk. He loves them and when he would get tired, I would pick him up and carry him a distance. Then put him down and he would be rested enough to walk again. Earlier this summer I tried roller blading with him. He loves that too! And he can easily go 5 miles (2.5 miles one way and 2.5 back). Sometimes he gets tired and I will carry him but for the most part he does just fine. He never seems overly exhausted and I give him plenty of water afterwards. We even take rest breaks because I can't keep up with him. I don't take him every day but once to twice a week. Madden (4 1/2 months) loves roller blading too! He went between 1/2 to 1 mile the first time and is working up to it. With him though, I took a lot of rest breaks but he never stopped wagging his tail or trying to catch the wheels on my blades. But before that, he would walk 20 minutes and be tuckered out. But now he goes on hour long walks around the neighborhood and attacks all the plants he finds. He loves long walks and roller blading like Jack does. Both my dogs have lots of energy so it is nice to be able to drain it. I just make sure they get a lot of water and go out when it's not super hot out (usually in the evening when it cools down). Trust me, once she gets use to it, she will surprise you (just factor in how active she is).

Baxter is 6 months old and I take him on the bike trail by my apartment. Now, I'm a runner and never thought in a million years our walks would turn into any kind of workout for me. I was wrong. At first I just took him out 1/2 a mile or so and would pick him up and carry him a few times. Now I get off work and I do my own workout and then I take Baxter to the bike trail. He walks a mile or so out then stops and looks at me and then looks behind us so we turn around. As soon as we turn around he takes off, sprinting the whole way back. It is hilarious! Everyone on the trail gets a kick out of it and I get to add an extra mile of my run in for the day. We do this about 3 days a week, weather permitting.
