I used to be able to walk the dog pretty well. Now, I’m stuck with either linoleum or carpet on which to try this trick. When I try it on linoleum, the yo-yo hops instead of walking. Have any of you experienced this problem, or maybe have some ideas on how to get around it?

I don’t know exactly what linoleum is but I am assuming it is a hard surface. On any hard surfaces that will happen and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Linoleum is thin vinyl sheeting that’s used on kitchen and bathroom floors; a somewhat soft surface put on top of a hard surface.

smooth carpet would be the best option to walk your dog in my opinion.
