It is DEFINATELY do-able. Harley loves my two ferrets, Ferret and Ewok. I already had Ferret when I got Harley and taught both of them their own boundaries. Harley knows to 'be easy' with both of them and will actually carry both of them gently by their scruffs like they are his own. He can tell when they're getting fussy and are tired of playing and will then leave them alone. I NEVER leave them unattended and keep a close watch on them even now after almost a year. It's all about being consistant with corrections and most importantly on how well your yorkie actually listens to your commands. If he/she won't respect your commands then the likelyhood that an accident could happen is pretty high.
