...even though yorkies share alot of similarities, they also share as many differences. My Comet has never chewed on any furniture. At least not yet... and he is 5 months. The best advice that I can give is that yorkies are extremely smart dogs and you can train them to do anything you want them to, even with their strong personalities.
The key is persistance and determination. Start out by puppy proofing your home and introduce the dog to his/her toys in the beginning. If you plan on crate training (which I highly recommend) crate train as soon as possible.
Put away all shoes and remove any items off of the floor that you do not want damaged, as soon as you bring him home. Little yorkies see everything and they really help you to keep an immaculate floor!
Do not take anything for granted. If you leave something in his/her reach....he/she will definitely try and eat it.
A dog is certainly a trainable animal. You have to set aside the time and patience to do the training. The dog will follow its leader!
