I suggest you try some breeders instaed of pet store. Alot of time pet shops get their dogs from cheap breeders that are really back yard breeders and you do not want a puppy from those people. get one from a good breeder. We where lucky we only had to drive 2 hours away to get our akita. But we got to see the parents and where they where kept and everything. Tney had been breeding and showing for 20 years

Your question says two problematic things: pet shops and teacup yorkies.
Pet shops are a terrible place to get a dog. the only breeders that sell dogs to pet shops are puppy mills. Reputable breeders screen owners carefully and are particular about who their pups are sold to - they also provide health guarantees - something a pet shop usually won't. So the only dog you will ever get a from pet shop is from a puppy mill - which is a horrible way to breed dogs. If you don't believe me, do a little research on the Internet. Call the breed club for yorkies in your area and find a reputable breeder.
Never buy a teacup anything. "Teacup" is a term used by unscrupulous breeders for dogs bred smaller than standard size because people are demanding them. The problem is, these tiny dogs are very often sickly and frail. Buy a standard size yorkie - they are already really small.
If you want to throw your money away on a poorly bred dog with possible health problems, buy a teacup yorkie from a pet store.

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/OlhCJ
She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.
.
Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie (or any other breed for that matter).They are only undersized dogs bred smaller then the breed standard by irresponsible breeders. These dogs often have serious health issues. If you want a Yorkie look for a responsible breeder, one who cares about the health of the dogs they produce and breed to breed standard. Stay clear of the "gimic" breeders who sell pups using sales tactics lIke "teacup".

Do not buy a dog from a pet shop. Most of them sell dogs that are from puppy mills. Instead, look for a reputable breeder.Consider checking with a small dog rescue int he Chicago area. You would be surprised. 25% of all dogs found in shelters are purbreeds. Contact the AKC or a local dog trainer or your vet for contacting a responsible breeder. You can have genetic problems from a dog that is not bred properly. If you do your homework like I suggest, you will be glad you did.

Get a rescue dog, not the offspring of an abused puppy mill dog.
Check out www.hua.org - they do have several small yorkies available. Not all their dogs are listed on the internet so just email them with what you are looking for.
Two of our 3 dogs came from HUA. They are sweet loving well trained dogs.
Good luck

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU82n
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT BUY a dog from a pet store. We live in a more educated age now. Please rescue a dog from a shelter or advocacy group. There are literally thousands of animals dying. Pet stores should be banned from selling any animals until the overpopulation problem is corrected. If you purchase from one of those "puppy mill" pet stores you are only adding to the problem. Shame on you if you do that.
Search google for many many options in pet adoption. There are shelters in your area and I'm sure there are many rescues to choose from.
One last comment: Dogs are furry little living things...not fashion accessories. Have you researched Tea Cup Yorkies to determine if they are the right dog for you. Dogs should not be carried around in fancy purses. They are dogs and should be treated with love and respect and better than a pair of shoes.
Good luck. I really hope you rethink the purchase route and consider adoption. It's good for you, the dog, and the community.

My personal answer, don't buy a puppy at the pet store. they come from puppy mills, which are inbread dogs. Your puppy has a 30% more chance of having a deadly-mild disease. Check your local newspaper for puppies, or go to livedeal.com. Want more info? check out peta.com for more on puppy mills.
