Welcome to YT. I have a male yorkie age 3. He's the sweetest, most precious, lovey dovey, cuddly, stubborn, ornery, stubborn (did I already say that?, it bears repeating) stubborn, wild thing around. My advice is this... Otis is a "runner" some yorkies aren't like this and I've heard they can be trained not to do this. I haven't been able to train it out of him. It's a serious terrier instinct to hunt. When he see's a bird, or a kitty or anything he fells must be chased, there NO stopping him. Nothing works, not a biscuit or a bye bye, or a stern voice. Also I have to watch for open gates and doors held open for just a second too long as he will bolt!! so make sure you're ready in case your baby has this trait. Good Luck with your new baby. It will be the most rewarding thing. I didn't have dogs growing up. the unconditional love he gives me is overwhelming. (I'm starting to get mushy) Can't help it, I love him sooo much. I'm thankful every day to have Otis and Oliver (shihpoo). They bless me beyond what I deserve.
