I would work on them individually then add one at a time and vary the two that go along each time. Then when you have all sets of two doing well together go to three.
What I would do for the pulling is grab a leash and a bit of an open area, you sound like you are walking around blocks so maybe you could find a small park or something. We did this with our bloodhound and used our front yard and with a yorkie you are definately not going to need as much room as we did then. Start working with one dog at a time. Begin walking and when they start to pull, actually I wouldn't even let them get to that point I would want them right in front of me (in class we actually kept them right beside us but in the end when you have all three its going to be a bit difficult to have three dogs at your side when you only have two sides), so pick a length that you are willing to let them be in front of you at and when they start to go beyond that point don't stop but turn. You can turn 90 degrees a complete 180 just whatever, mix it up and do it maybe 15 minutes at a time, just long enough that they are starting to stay close. Then practice it the next day. The reason I say find an open area is because in the beginning you are not going to be going very straight, you'll be turning every 2 seconds and making big circles and stuff. Once you are able to walk two dogs one at a time wtihout having to turn (because they are getting too far) then put two together and do the same thing. And mix up those two then eventually all three together. I will say though you should start losing some weight (if you need to) walking all three individually, hey you're tripling you walking time.
