lol, life as you once knew it is over lol, yorkies are hyper little clowns, they will follow you where ever you go, they will want to be the boss in the house so you need to teach him you are the boss, the pack leader. Start basic commands early,like now, teach sit, down, stay, come, drop it, leave it. Socialize him with ppl and other dogs as soon as he has had ALL his vaccines, potty train on pee pads or out doors now. Training command words, sessions are no more then 5 minutes, teach one command several times through out the day, reward with treat and lots of happy praise when he does it right. when he has leaned that command word move on to the next command, I would start off with teaching to sit, then stay, remember short sessions, 5 minutes through out the day reward with a special treat and lots of praise. Has he had all his shots, is he micro-chipped, he should also be neutered when the vet says when the proper time is, usually 6 months old. Neutering is for his heath. For new yorkie owners

If I like it, it’s mine.
If I saw it first, it’s mine.
If it’s in my mouth, it’s mine.
If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
If it looks like mine. It’s mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
If you have something and put it down, it’s mine.
If I chew something up, all of the piece’s are mine.
If it use to be yours, get over it.
If it’s broken, it’s yours.
Enjoy this little boy
