Thanks for these tips! I will try the finger in the mouth and putting her on her back in that position.
I am pretty sensitive about her behavior because the day before this started I took her to my vet and they said she had issues and needed professional help or would end up in a shelter. I posted about that story here and everyone said the vet was nuts and to get a new vet. For context, here is the link to the post.

I brought her home when she was 10 weeks, and she was the runt, there were also 4 adult yorkies in the house, and she RAN the show there. It was amazing.
Everyone else who has had contact with her - other family, friends etc say she is doing normal stuff.
