it's not so much your yorkies age as size. my 80lb bear is gentle as can be, very careful, won't even move a chair leg to get a tennis ball. Lets 10lb baxter hang from his jowls during play. But even he can have a clumsy moment and has been known to inadvertently step on my foot, and it is painful. I would be afraid of him accidently stepping on a very small yorkie. My pups are just over 1lb and so he is not allowed on the floor when they are. One misstep could break their back. Hopefully, they'll get to at least 4lbs and be less vulnerable. I don't know. 3mths and they are 1.7 and 1.3 respectively. I'd say a large puppy would be even more clumsy than my 7yr old mutt....100% supervision, unless your yorkie is good sized.
