With a large dog/tiny dog, I especially recommend having a crate and crate training your little one. Or you could use a sturdy Xpen or and old baby's play pen.

During the boisterious puppy months, it is important to keep your pup safe around the larger dog, and "yourself". We learnt the Yorkie shuffle early on. Look down, always start walking by sliding your feet along the floor.

Also if your pup tracks to only 3lbs, you will probably need to consider training pup to use stairs to climb up on furniture or beds. Also to train him not to jump down from self same furniture.

HOw is your lab with meeting tiny dogs? Have you trained him to either sit or lay down, and say hello that way? In otherwords you want him to be calm

Be very careful and don't let them out in the yard off lead together. A quick turn, and pups especially Yorkies can move incredibly fast they can be under the big dogs feet in a wink of an eye.

Best of luck Post pics when you get some We love pics here.

If you live in a cold climate - they will need warm winter coat for walking.
