Oh, I so love to see a Yorkie do the "play dead" trick!!! That is just the cutest thing in the world!
Sounds like you are right on track and doing very well. Anybody that loves the cuteness and fun of teaching tricks to their dog will usually eventually wind up with a very well-behaved dog who is a joy to have in the house as they are almost always happy, fulfilled and in control of themselves, all other things being equal.
