I am going to bump this up as I only deal with dogs that are at least 8 months old in hopes of someone who can help you with a puppy.

I will tell you I am not a big believer of Ceasar Millan for Yorkies. I have his DVD and his book and there really is some great things in his approach but not always with a Yorkie. I think the best approach is the Clicker positive training approach for these little ones. This breed is very intelligent but they can be stubborn (terrier) and to have a good relationship with them it has to be done on their terms.

P.S. I must have over 20 some books on dogs/animals on behavior more than training and I take a little bit out of each book. Good Luck.
