Are you wanting to put a collar on your yorkie for identification tags or are you planning on using the collar to attach a leash to it and use it for walks? In my opinion, collars on small dogs should only be worn for I.D. tags and a leash should never be attached. Yorkies have very sensitive necks and can develop tracheal issues over time if they are walked w/ a collar. They should wear harnesses that strap around the body so no pressure is put on their neck.

I forgot to add.. My boys were also very reluctant when I first put their harnesses on them. Eventually they just got used to them being there and now they don't notice them at all. They love putting their harnesses on because that means mommy is taking them for a walk!
