A person helped me with fetching with my other dog (non-Yorkie). He suggested only throwing the object a short distance. When the dog gets it, don't try to take it away. Just wait till he drops it (hopefully near you) then pick it up and toss it again. Each time going a little further. If you don't chase him, then the fun of biting or being chased changes the rules. Repeat the word (only a few times) "Drop it" in a nice tone. When he does, praise him and say "good drop it". Obviously repitition will allow it to sink in. Good luck!
