I would never use that on a yorkshire terrier. Our neighbors have one of those anti-barking collars for their dog. When he barks, it gives him a shock and he yelps. Oh yeah it makes him think about not barking but I cannot imagine how that shock feels. That dog is about 40lbs and he yelps loud. I think there are better ways of training a 6lb yorkie. But then that's just my opinion. My Max is only 16 weeks but he learns pretty quickly as long as I stay on top of things.
