First of all I would NEVER hit an animal! Especially a yorkie...they are too small! This is only going to make him timid and probably snappy. A stern NO or STOP will eventually do the trick. I had a dog trainer tell me (Sadie was an older pup and snapped at me) to pick her up, look her straight in the eye and shout "NO! DON'T DO THAT TO ME!" Then put her down and walk away...give her no attention. And, STICKING HIS NOSE IN AN ACCIDENT!! YUCK! Unless you actually catch him in the act he isn't even going to remember what he did..This could also promote eating his stools...then you will have another problem.. Yorkies aren't the easiest breed to house train..I'm sure we all know that but, If he is going, and you catch him in the act, tell him bad and bring him to where you want him to go...If he finishes tell him good boy and give him a treat...Maybe this will work.
