Obviously I was making a joke above - no offense intended to the OP!

the missus and I have a puppy teacup yorkie-poodle cross and, like all dogs, he can be a handful to control at times as well.

Over my time with 3 dogs, I've found the most important thing is consistency in your action (training) and reaction (reward/behaviour). If you consistently train him and reward him for doing as you do want, and not scolding him for doing what you don't want, usually they come around.

Since you KNOW he loves the tennis ball, why not use that as a treat? Get him in the car, the second he calms down, give him the ball (keep it hidden and surprise him with it?)
