Zoey does this too. My darling Gina never gave me a hard time. When I needed to pick her up or put her harness on I would say "assume the position" and she would freeze. My husband and I would always laugh at this. We miss her so. If there was ever a perfect yorkie that was Gina. Never growled, bit and always obeyed commands - even the dreaded come here and get your bath command.
