He's just being a Yorkie and yes they want it their way.
It takes lot's of patience with these guys however when they
want they learn fast. Very fast. Give him a time out. Make
him learn that when he does not listen he goes behind a gate.
You;ll see how fast he listens to you. At least it worked on Buddy.
He's still young but he should be listening to some extent at this
point. Hang in there and keep up the training. It will get better but
you have to be consistant and not give up because they are just
too smart for words.
