Puppies are like babies so they will sleep a lot. Just give her a few more days to get used to her new surroundings and to you.
As for the shaking... Is it like she's cold or scared? If she seems chilly make sure she has blankets to snuggle in and get her a sweater.
House taining??? Hmmmm.... depends on you! Stay diligent, on schedule (before nap, after waking, after eating) being consistant is the key!
Bathing... I give my girls a bath evey 2 weeks but some people give them more often. Super important to get her used to the blow drier before you give her the first bath. Take her to the bathroom with you and turn on the drier but not near her to get her used to the sound and the blowing wind. You ALWAYS want to blow dry a puppy so they don't get cold. They are so small, that even indoors, they can get hypothermia.
The puppy is still young and doesn't have a sense of toys if they are tossed away from them or if the toy is too far away. Try putting the toy on the floor and tease her with it by moving it back and forth in front of her and tickling her with it. - Puppies usually likes the softer stuffed animal type of toys more than the plastic or latex toys.
It will all come in time! Congratulations on your first Yorkie!
