The literature, to which you refer, is this to dogs in general or Yorkies? Since they do suffer from hypoglycemia, their needs are different.

Animals as well as humans do know a sense of fullness; the key ingredient to this is HEATHY food. Once you have created an eating disorder or introduce an unhealthy food (high fats and/or high sweets) the animal and or human will overlook this sense of fullness and overeat.

I also fed my human babies on demand. I think this schedule thing is terribly old fashioned and I'm surprised anybody is still doing this and/or recommending it.
