First of all I want to commend you for taking the inititave to join a forum and look for help! Secondly, I want to apologize for people attacking you like the indivdual I decided to quote. Some of the users on here are pretty full of themselves and would rather attack people instead of help out. Judgmental people...IGNORE them
That being said, there are others on here that have given you great advice, especially letting you know that Yorkies react very differently than German Shepherds. This little guy sounds like he is quite the handful
I'm sure he has a great personality, and that with positive reinforcement he with start to thrive. If you and your girlfriend are willing to put in the time and effort (which I feel that you are seeing as how you are looking for help) then I definitely suggest getting a trainer who is used to working with small dogs. I know this can be expensive, but I promise that in the end it will be worth it. You can look in the training threads here to help you out too..Lots of treat training is helpful.
As far as losing your patience with the pup I get it. Mine has quite the strong will and I love him to death he is my child but wow can he make me angry!!! The things/people that we love the most have the abilitiy to push our buttons more than those we could care less about. I want to wish you the best of luck I hope that I could offer a little encouragement and a little advice that will help. Good luck with Bailey!
