As far as I can tell, its a scam. If you type in any other breed of dog - say Maltese - you'll see these ads " Maltese Warning" - then you click on the link and you hear a voice telling you that before you do anything else. . yada yada and then you learn that they want you to buy something and that every other trainer in the world has it wrong. I've also seen ads that say you can train your dog in a week. That's nonsense. That's like saying you could teach a child to read fluently in a week. BS. Training takes time and patience and while there are some specific traits in each breed that set them apart, saying that Yorkies need a special trainer is like saying Chinese and Caucasion children need special teachers. Dogs are dogs, children are children. "Sit" to a Yorkie should mean the same thing as "Sit" to a German Shepherd and there's no reason why a Shepherd should ever be subjected to a training technique that you wouldn't think of doing to a Yorkie (if you get my drift). The only thing that would make me say otherwise is if the trainer was training for a specialized sport (like agility or flyball) where the dog's relationship to the equipment might require a different technique or understanding of how the dog will work it. But for basic obedience? Give me a break.
