Exercise
Yorkshire Terriers love the out of doors and going for walks. An active Yorkie can get plenty of exercise indoors, however, making them suitable for city environments or apartments. If you do have the opportunity to take your puppy for a run, the little one will enjoy it very much.

Yorkies have a tendency to think they are quite a bit larger than they are! This can pose problems if they chase after moving objects such as larger dogs, people walking/running, etc. We recommend using a harness for walking your Yorkie. Harnesses are much safer than collars because they spread out the pressure over the dog’s chest area instead of just on the dog’s neck. If a Yorkie falls off of a deck or other high place, a collar can cause them to suffocate within seconds. A harness will also prevent long-term damage to a Yorkie's trachea from straining on a leash.
