Your Yorkie Henri sounds fantastic! I only hope Jasper will grow up to be the same!
I will try the walking tip tommorrow... Hopefully it works out! Because I know taking your dog on a walk is very important and I need him to learn the proper way to do it and enjoy the walks.
I hope he will stop following me around... A girl just gotta pee on her own sometimes without a dog whining at the door. 
Again, thank you so much!!!!

No problem! That is what YorkieTalk is for, to help people and teach them about the breed. It is a great community.
Yes, training is fine to start now, just take it slow. Petsmart should definitely have a clicker kit, but if you can't find the one you're looking for then you could try Amazon.com
Thank you! Henri is a pretty good boy.
He wasn't always though, he was quite the handful as a puppy, but with time and a LOT of patience we worked through it.
Since your little guy is only 10 weeks he shouldn't go on full walks until he has all of his shots. You can still train him to walk on a leash though, do practice walks around the house, yard, and driveway (if you have one). Are you using a harness? If not you need to be, small dogs are a little more fragile then big dogs and using a collar for walks can hurt them. I would suggest getting a harness that is adjustable, one that can grow with him. You will probably need to buy another one when he is full grown, but that is a little ways away.
Henri loves to come in the bathroom with me, he likes to sit by the door and "guard" it!
He doesn't always come in with me but a good amount of the time he does. I know it can get pretty annoying sometimes, but your pup just really loves you, you are his world to him.
Have fun with your baby! Puppies can be so much fun!
