I'm glad things have gotten better. I would still advise following some of the really good advice you received on this thread, since yorkies respond SO much better to positive reinforcement. Make the harness and lead a fun, positive thing for him rather than being scolded everytime he has to put it on. Treats and praise will work wonders but it may take some time.
As far as vomiting foam, what color is it? If it's yellow, it could be acid from a too-empty stomach (eg., walking him in the morning before he's eaten). White could be many things, and maybe as simple as an upset stomach due to the excitement of the harness and lead, or if he's never been walked/exercised before, it could be too much too soon and his body is reacting. Either way, it's not good for him or positive reinforcement to walk if he gets sick every time. It should be something he is very happy to do. Please keep us updated. By the way, WELCOME TO YT!!
