Good luck! As far as he’s concerned… he IS the baby! Boy, are you going to have your hands full! All you can do, is make sure he has plenty of his own toys, and scold him for getting into baby’s things. Eventually he’ll learn, but you are going to have your hands full when the baby arrives as he’s going to be quite jealous of the new critter swiping all your attention and time that he sees as rightfully his.
keep them away from him, or buy him a toy of his own that looks like the one he wants. everytime he barks tell him no ,out, and to go lay down. when he leaves the room give him a treat. start training now so when the baby comes he will listen better. after a while, put his toys in front of him with one of the baby toys, when he goes to get the baby toy tell him no and give him his. keep trying this and sooner or later he will know whats his and whats not. good luck
Keep hiding them – no mistakes allowed for humans (!) and Totally Ignore the barking. Yorkies that are rewarded and encouraged for barking (scolding and any form of attention is rewarding) become manic barkers. New household rule for you – if the dog barks, all dog-related activity ceases. The dog must never be rewarded for barking. This will be hard at first, but if you take care of this now, you will solve a big problem. Good luck!

That is asking a lot of a dog. He has always had the toys and discriminating between his toys and the baby’s toys is going to be a tough job. You are going to have to just watch him all the time. You do not want to be grapping things away from him and giving them to the baby. You want the dog to accept the baby as part of the family, not alienate hime.
Now, this is just silly – the yorkie is a DOG, you are humans.
You put the toys where the yorkie can’t get to them and give the yorkie one of his toys as substitute, or a treat.
You are going to have to handle this once the baby comes – keep the baby stuff out of the dog’s reach – he’s a dog, he doesn’t know that it’s not his toy, you can’t “teach” him that – you will just have to keep the baby stuff out of his reach.
By the way, do NOT leave the baby and the dog alone, especially when the baby gets old enough to “play” with the yorkie. Babies also have no idea what is a toy and what isn’t, and can easily hurt a little dog like this and get bitten in response.
You will need to monitor them at all times – until the child is at least 10, or understands how to treat a small dog.
Time to do some thinking here, and take responsibility for the innocent creatures you are repsonsible for.
Q: how do i get my yorkie to realize that baby toys are not his toys?
A: By you realizing that all toys are your toys, and that you are in charge of who plays with what, if and when.
If you can not get a grasp of that concept, then you’re left with the prospect of managing your home life around the dog in the home (ie: having to hide stuff to/or keep it out of reach). Me? I won’t live like that. My house, my toys, my rules. Rule number one: my house, my toys. Get it?

i really dont think that that is possible
everytime he goes near anything you dont want him to touch including the babies toys, use the shhhhhh command with a strong Leave everytime he looks away from them praise him with a treat and after a few times he will know that they are not his and you will only have to use the shhhhhhh with anything his not allowed.
hope this helps
Be the boss. Scold him when he tries to go for the toys. Get him a few new toys. You’re going to have the same problem with the baby when he/she gets old enough to crawl around. Yorkies are not the best dogs to have with a baby around, so you might want to take him to a trainer that can get him acclimated to what he can and can’t do when the baby arrives. Things are going to change and he’s not going to like it, so it’s best to get him used to not being the baby anymore before he tries to exact revenge on your new human baby. And don’t say he’ll still be the baby because for a long time in the beginning you won’t have enough time for yourself much less the dog. I have seen this happen and it is not healthy for anybody.
