You could probably do a search on here to find out. That's usually what I do. My little girl's ears were already standing up when I got her so I'm really no help.

But I did want to tell you that your furbaby is adorable!! And by the way, I'm not too far from you either. I live in Henderson!

Make sure his ears are thorougly shaved on both sides....helps take weight off and adhesive doesn't pull when you take the tape off.

leave up for 5 days, down for two. Repeat as necessary.

First of all shave the ears, the hair is holding them down. Then tape them and it will take a few weeks for them to gain strength enough to stay up.

Hey there ...not all yorkies ears will stand - it all depends on the breeding so don't be sad if they don't -

I remember taping Chanel's ears and lasted one whole day - I just couldn't do it cause she looked like a little alien trying to pick up radio stations - and her ears stood - but some yorkies are just born with ears that fold - it's no big deal if you love them and don't plan to show

This is Nico when I taped his ears. I could only find blue painters tape!! Poor thing, but it worked!
