For sure - little Yorkies won't be hungry at meal time -- if they get treats all day. These "little bites" add up to a lot of food.
So - start using healthy food for treats (and not "dog treats"). I use small pieces of chicken, other meats, occasionally cheese, etc. These are healthy foods for our dogs, and I can just consider these treats as part of their good and healthy food for the day. Then, if they eat less of their dog food, I don't worry about it.
I'm sure you can be creative and think of many healthy foods you can use for treats - rather than "dog treats - which I call "junk food."
