Sorry you are having a rough time. How old are the boys? Puppies can be really overwhelming. The first year is the hardest. For me, having Max was like having a highly mobile newborn human baby. Having 2 at one time is twice the challenge.
I shed a few tears that first year.
Having a schedule of daily activities, a routine, is reassuring and calming for dogs. Try to serve meals, have short play sessions, and do things at about the same time each day.
I limited roaming room in my house with baby gates and xpens. This helps with potty training and general training.
Maybe try separating the boys a little when trying to train and groom?
Stick to a limited diet. If you feed kibble, use the kibble for rewards. This will help prevent tummy problems. I also use tiny bits of steamed plain chicken breast.
Grooming and walking on leash are all things that take time and loads of patience to train for with a Yorkie. Maintaining a calm demeanor even when it seems hopeless is important. These dogs can read out anxiousness and they tend to react negatively to it.
