It is something you can do. However, I have never seen a docile yorkie that was a purebreed. In my experience, if they were docile, they were either bored or sick. I just think you need to be prepared because it will be much harder for you to go out in all kinds of weather - thunderstorms, lightning, high winds. I have dual-trained all of mine. All of mine, over the years, were trained to go on piddle pads in an attached garage in bad weather, but much prefer to go outside. Not trying to discourage you at all. In fact, I am convinced you would be a wonderful yorkie mom. Please just be aware that it can be difficult without that yard and in bad weather. I don't know how people do it, honestly, but I know it can be done and many people do live in apartments.
