I would start with one thing at a time. Try the harness first. Put it on her loosely and then play with her. Help her to associate the harness with something fun. Leave it on her while you can supervise her, remove it when you cannot. When she seems comfortable with the harness, attach the leash. Just let her drag it around until she gets used to it. Gradually, she will get the idea. Just remember to give lots of praise and make each encounter with the harness and leash fun! Also be sure that she sees you put a harness and leash on your other Yorkie and sees you walk your other Yorkie with the harness and leash. Once she gets comfortable dragging the leash, start the walking. Tell her to come on and hold a treat at your side where she can reach it. Just walk slow, holding the treat and coaxing her. She will get it.
