I had a 4lb yorkie. My biggest concern with her in the house was her jumping off the bed, couch etc. So I got steps for all the couches and beds. Beyond that I wasn't too worry about her. I've read that smaller yorkies may have more health problems but pet insurance can help with that.

Other than making sure she didn't break any bones because she was a little more fragile, I can't say that I did anything extra special to protect her. I would also put a bell on her at least in the beginning because it is so easy to accidentally step on them. My yorkie was always up under me, she was my velcro baby. As soon as I moved she would be right behind me and there was a couple of times I almost stepped on her. Besides, having the bell help to figure out if she is up to something........if it got too quiet and she wasn't in the same room as me, I knew she was doing something she wasn;t supposed to be doing like shredding up the toilet paper
