My yorkie Puppy is about 6 months now. She is spayed, potty training. very hyper and she know a few tricks like rollover, sit, paw, etc. I try to walk her at least twice a day for at least 20 mins on a harness. But she goes crazy when i try to walk her. Its more like run to each tree, stop sign, trash on the side, or another dog or person. Is there way to get her to walk on the sidewalk normal??? I understand she's just a puppy. I just hope she grows out of it.

i have a 4 month old jack russell terrier, they are very crazy, just like the yorkie. all you have to do, to walk her, is hold her leash tight so she cant wounder off. what i do is wrap is around my hand a couple times and that make the leash tight between my dog and I. Also you have to lead her and pull her on to the side walk if she goes off, just pull he right back on. at firt it is hard, but as she gets older she will gett better at it. And make sure she is under your command.

Use a collar, harnesses don't give any control and the dog is more likely to pull. Use a 6ft leash and make her follow you. If you go one way around a tree, make her come the same way. You should have her on a leash in the house and put the leash around your waist. Then make her go everywhere with you. This helps her learn to stay with out and respect where you are going.
She will not grow out of it, it will only get worse.

She will grow out of it, its a puppy thing. Until then try shorting her leash by wrapping the excess of it around your hand so that she only has enough to walk by your side and just give her a light pull away from the other stuff when she gets side tracked.
Also be sure to give her lots of praise when she does the whole walk by your side...it lets her know she's doing the right thing and making you happy!!
God luck!!

Get a shirt with a bigger pocket. ;)
You want to teach her to pay attention to you. As long as you are trying to teach her not to pay attention to other things without paying attention to you, you are beating your head against a wall.
Remember that anytime a dog lowers it's head to the ground it's brains are likely to run right out it's nose. (and you have lost the dog)
So place the collar as high up on the dogs neck as possible (right up behind the ears). Then when she starts to lower her head to the ground give the lead a strait upward pop along with a command like "head up" or "look at me". The trick is don't wait until the dog gets it's nose to the tree, or fire hydrent, or leaf on the ground. Stop the behavior the moment she starts to lower her head.

You'll have to teach her. Sign up for a basic obedience class as soon as you can but here is one article to read in the meantimer:
