Yorkies are known to be barkers. My oldest was not and my youngest only barks at her siblings when they wont play but my other 3 are definitely barkers for what I sometimes think is no reason but generally they hear something we can't. It is their only voice so I have not really tried to stop it. I would work on the come command because it is very important like one of the most important. I would in the house have 2 people and go back and forth maybe even changing where you are at when you call him. Then do it with a leash outside and just keep working on it. If you have someone who can hold him while you go hide and then they put him down and you call his name to find you it can be a game and work on coming. Use treats a lot of treats and first and then start weening off of them as he gets better at it. Call in a very high pitched happy excited voice. Never call them to you to fuss at them.
