The shock collar for barking -- I saw on Victoria Stilwell's dog training show that they can cause health problems, heart and nervous system.
The psychological damage is undeniable.
I agree with everyone above that Yorkies are definitely not outdoor dogs. There is nowhere in this country that is warm enough for them. Their size, even the larger ones, make them easy targets for predators.
Please bring this dog indoors, and you will easily solve your barking problem.
