No matter where you go for your obedience training, they're only really worth going to if they provide training to you for Obedience AND manners. They must go hand in hand. Your Yorkie needs to learn to be controlable when not on a leash as well as when on. And no, I'm not speaking about off leash obedience. I speaking of just the manners. No jumping/pulling/barking/chewing/biting and so on...
THEN you should also learn your basic: heel; sit; sit/stay; down; down/stay & come. If you want to get more advanced (and OH, is there tons more obedience to learn!) and precise and consistent, well, that depends on the capabilities of the trainers at the facility you choose and just how high their expectations are of themselves and the clients that come to them.

I hope this helps.
