You mentioned that you grabbed her and little roughly and scolded her when you were disciplining her. My Yorkies are very sensitive and I am careful not to be rough with them or use a loud voice.

I read somewhere that they know when you are upset by the tone of your voice and you don't need to use a loud voice but use a stern voice. I discipline them in a voice that is no louder than my speaking voice but maybe a little deeper. I tell them "I am not happy with you, don't do it again" or something like that in a tone of voice they they can see I am not happy with them. They understand this and they feel bad but not scared of me. I never use "bad dog", I just don't like saying that. It seems to work for me. I think she will warm up to you pretty soon. I would just keep my voice more calm and keep treats handy so when she comes to you she will get a reward.

I think our two like me and my husband equally. They like to hang out with me but daddy gives them the best belly rubs.
