Although you can and should teach your yorkie to sit AND stay, I think that yorkies have an easier time doing tricks that utilize their natural behaviors. Since they like to be active and shadow their owners, "stay" is not really natural for some yorkies and is probably especially hard for a pup. If I tell Lucky to "sit" and "stay" and then walk away from her, she'll do it, but she acts like I am torturing her. Since she loves to paw at people, she is best at "shake", "high five", and "wave." Also, since she is very energetic, she loves tricks that allow her to move: "roll over", "circle", "crawl" and "weave" (where she weaves through my legs as I walk forward.)
