I've decipline my yorkies as young as 6 weeks old. Remember you are the mother figure, you have to set rules even at 2 months old. I think it is good to set ground rules early because they don't know better and it is my job to teach them right from wrong. It doesn't always have to be major. With my yorkies a firm "NO" usually does the trick, and if they don't listen then the punishment increased(i.e gentle slap on their butts).
