To be honest, the tone of how you say it is the most important thing. I would definitely ask everyone to use the same word for "no" though. Maybe not even use a word since there are various languages. Use "uh uh" or something like that. Just don't yell it because yorkies are super sensitive. Say it sternly and that's enough. For the good stuff..any language is fine (I think anyway)..if it is said with a praising tone
