Hi Maria, welcome to YorkieTalk. My Daisy was EXACTLY like yours and lostnomads. She was a holy terror when she was a pup. It takes a lot of patience and trying to "get into her brain" to figure them out.
Our trainer told us if your dog is wild, sit on the couch and watch tv or something with your pup by your side. Each time he tries to get up and leave gently hold him in place and don't speak. You can also do this standing up. When the pup tries to wiggle out of your arms, just hold them and when they are quiet you can let them down. This tells the pup that you are the boss and they will get down when YOU want them to. It worked wonders with Daisy. She got the message pretty quickly. It was shortly after she learned who the boss was the she quit pooping and peeing in the house. Believe it or not she was a much happier dog once she learned obedience.
If you want to schedule training class for your babies, make sure they have had all of their puppy shots first before they come into contact with other dogs.
