Animal Smiley 019 I'm new and have a few questions about my Yorkie Russell

Hi, I've had my Yorkie Russell - Oscar a day now. He is 9 weeks old today and I think he is very clever and well behaved (so far,lol). He had his first jab today and has been wormed and de-flead. I started potty training as soon as we got home with newspaper but that wasn't going very well so this afternoon i started in the garden - picking him up when it looks like he needs to go and putting him in the garden which was going fine for a few hours (A few poos and wees) but now when i put him out he just whines and claws at the backdoor. I'm not sure what to do, any advice? Am i doing the right thing?
Also he keeps getting really aggresive with his bed (he digs,chews and growls) he still sleeps in it when he is tried but i don't know how to stop him. When he starts to chew the corner of the rug, slippers etc and we say no and he stops straight away but with his bed he just doesn't listen.
One more question - I know that the most he will weigh is about 6lbs but how tall and long do yorkies roughly get? He is so small at the moment (1.35kgs, 9weeks) and i'm so worried that i'm going to stand on him?

Thank you for any help you can give. I know this is a long post, thanx for reading/helping
