When they were puppies they were really good about it, they stayed close by, but it was also winter then. Now that it is nice out they just want to run arround chasing birds and take off exploring the whole neighborhood.
The only way to do this is to work on a reliable recall. Just get the yummiest food you have and only give it to them when they come. Make "come" mean "come get this food in my hand" I still think that when the time comes, a bird or another dog will be more interesting... Yorkies are stubborn.
