A good home obedience training program using positive reinforcement will give you a wonderful pet if you keep it fun, keep the training ongoing in refresher courses during the week and reinforce boundaries.
Challenging games that make your dog think and work to get his treats/toys and lots of exercise, along with all life enrichment and fun socialization sessions you can arrange, will further keep your baby satisfied and happy with you and his life.
Excellent vetting, regular attention to the dental issues your Yorkie could have and top nutrition are critical to a dog's well being.
All of the above things are important, but most of all start with love, patience and having fun with your dog as you daily interact meaningfully with him and you will make his dog's life happy, healthy and complete.
