Maybe he just has to get through his "puppy" stage. Since I had my standard for years before I got my yorkie I didn't have this problem. I think you need to let him know that he can't do that with the yorkie and that he has to be gentle. You may need to keep them separate until he gets out of his puppy stage (or only have them together when you can really watch them). Hopefully it gets better because they are wonderful dogs.
