You start at 8 week or 12 whenever you get your pups...you socilize them with people..stack them on the table etc..but you need to contact local dog clubs for classes.
IMO it is a waste of money for a handler to do what you can do in classes with your pups now...a handler is for winning a dog show, when they are ready to win..

AND unless a trainer breeds or shows Yorkies, they really can not give you much info about the quality and potential of yoru dog..go to INFODOG and see when some shows are coming in your area..you can watch and learn.
