OMG, he's soooo cute. The photo came out perfect. 8 months old to neuter is the norm, hopefully he is not hiking his leg a lot and continues to kinda squat when he pees. Yorkie puppies are very high energy if he is not food or toy motivated, training basic commands can be a bit tricky and with him not having sharp hearing works against him. Terriers have short concentration span, training should be no longer then 5 to 7 minutes several times a day. After 7 minutes they are no longer focused on you, their minds are on making mischief lol. When you do train him use hand signals with each command and, train only one command at a time. When he gets that one command down pat, then you can move on with a new command. I trained my boy voice and hand commands, it works perfect when I am on the phone and he wants me off it. I give him his SIT, STAY hand command, works for me.
