Man that is too funny! I swear these Yorkies are way to smart! Im not quite sure how to fix that one but maybe you should have him in the sitting position a little longer or at least until he calms down before rewarding with the treat....or instead of the treat replace with a chew toy. I normally don't reward with treats...I just replace it with something that she can chew on.
