You need to assert some authority here and sharply, the best way to show a dog the pecking order in the family is to eat or gesticulate your eating from his/her bowl this act of feeding first in the wild is done by the alpha male, then, and only then, does the alpha allow others in the pack to feed, it is no different in the yorkies world. Do not allow a Yorkie to share your bed or bedroom, might be nice for you but to him its one up-manship and he is sure as with any other dog to perceive this as his room, as to when walking on a lead or off, he walks behind you not yards in front, when on a lead a well trained dog walks by your side. He will bite you if he has no defined role, he may even bite others, Yorkies are lovely little dogs but they need, probably more than any other breed a 'master' you must take on this role.
