I have found them to be not that hard to train. All of mine have picked up on tricks basics within just a few minutes. My now oldest Joey is about to have his video submitted to become a Champion Trick Dog. Right now Joey is and Expert trick dog. All of mine also have passed the Canine Good Citizen test. If you find out the way they like to learn they are very receptive. Potty training isn’t hard if you are consistent. With most dogs potty training fails are most commonly the owners fault not the dog. You have to keep in mind though that they might be in the toy group but they are all terriers. My youngest has caught and killed 2 mice and a rabbit and he is very big on hunting things even bugs. I would definitely say to read as much as you can before deciding. You have to think about costs of things also. Yorkies require grooming no matter how you keep their hair. They are known to have a couple different health issues that you want to be educated about to do what you can to prevent them. I generally have the misfit yorkies that no one wanted and they all are bigger at 16, 15 and 14 pounds.
