I agree that tug-of-war is the worst game to play with puppies. I wouldn't start playing until he learns the "drop/leave it" command. Training a puppy can, at times, be very frustrating. I would suggest puppy kindergarden classes at PetSmart - they're very informative and give you and your puppy time together. Until then you have to reinforce that you are the boss and put him in time out when he's bad. (I know it's hard and they're sooo cute) Punish the bad behavior and reinforce/reward the good. Yorkies are very smart and strive to please their owners - give it time and just have patience with him - he'll come around!
