I don't know how to train him to sit still and let me groom him. His groomer says he likes the dryer but let me tell you when I turn it on he freakes out. He won't sit still long enough for me to brush him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I use primarily Plush Puppy and Pure Paws products. My show Yorkie is wrapped most of the time but I have had many other Yorkies with all sorts of coats. Here's the best adivce I can give you with a pet Yorkie:
Pure Paws makes a moisturizing shampoo and a deep conditioner. Use these products and leave a touch of the conditioner (diluted) in your dogs coat. It will help keep the coat soft and seperated. Also, use the spray conditioner (comes in a spray bottle) on those parts that tend to get matted like the areas underneath your dog's legs (the canine armpits!). Use a Pin brush without balls on the tips to brush your dog out EVERY day, I use one I got from Cherrybrook (I posted about it a long time ago). Use a slicker brush on your dog's legs and chest (but be gentil since this brush can scratch). If this is not enough, a heavier conditioner may be an order. I use Plush Puppy Sea Breaze Oil to wrap my show yorkie. IT prevents all tangles but it does create a oily look.
