Recommended Answer:
Be patient. You are training a lot for a dog in one week. The dog will associate whatever hand signal you use. It's a result of what's known as conditioning. To get away from treats, use other rewards like petting or toys. Also even if you have a treat, don't treat every time.

Obedience Training for Dogs - Training Guide
- I think that working towards one command/week is a very obtainable and reasonable goal. After the first command is mastered, you can start with the next one and add to the repertoire.
Overloading a new dog/puppy with too many commands is frustrating and unsatisfying for the dog and owner.
Take it slow and enjoy your new friend's companionship. I try to keep training sessions to 30 minutes or less just to keep everyone fresh and alert.
Your dog will WANT to please you in time. Good luck! - I have used sign language for my dog and also my children when they were little (so I wouldn't have to yell in the store). You can probably find basic signs on the net, if not you can get an American Sign Language book at the library. Start with one command, it is ok to give treats, but slowly remove the treat with back rubs etc.. After you dog masters one command add others. Start by saying the word and the sign at the same time, then just use the sign if you would like.
Good Luck - I use different commands, sounds, and hand signals for each of my dogs. Sometimes I use the actual sign language signs, and sometimes I just use "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" I guess it depended on the puppy. I think you are doing it right, it all just takes time. I use treats when they are little, and then back off and just give praises, and make a fuss.

As for the training...well...one thing at a time and take your time of course. He will learn one thing quicker than several things at once. For example, what do you want him to do first, sit? stay? roll over? go potty outside? Pick one thing and teach him the most important one first. When he has mastered that one, move slowly onto the next and so on until your Yorkie is the best little guy on the block!
I teach all of my dogs the hand signal methods as I am hearing impaired and it looks way too cool when you want to show off to family or friends a dog who can do a command without voice! As mentioned, get the hand signal book, then read and practice before doing anything to your pup. Decide which thing you want first and then teach him to just that one.
BTW Roll over and shake are considered "parlor tricks". Save those if you must do them at all for last. - THE PREFERED ONE
i think it is pretty early for the dog 2 learn.but in future never get him trained from a from someone coz ma frnd's dog lost his one eye and went in depression.(the trainer could be a non-professional one)
better 2 teach him step by step on ur own, i mean one thing at a time.
if u want him/her 2 learn how to sit down on the command, then wen the dog is standing, just make him/her sit and tel him this is how u sit down.
make him do this at regular intervals but not disturbing the food time.
be polite and tap him or show love while teaching him/her
dnt get hyper if him/her is not learning at once.it wil take time.
but i still say its a little early for u to start teaching him.let him/her be a little more close to u. let him/her start trusting
