She still shakes at going to the elevator and getting downstairs but once you get her there she is a happy girl.
She is going for her first grooming next week, which I am terribly scarred about, leaving her for any amount of time without her mommy is a scarry thing! She is so frightened of everything, I have not even bathed her since bringing her home so I don't cause her more stress, so the groomer should be an interesting thing.
Thanks for all the advice, we are making some head way.

Sounds like everything is working out very well for her! Kacee has learned over time that when I say, "It's all right," that she has nothing to fear. The groomer won't be fun for her, but they all have to start sometime! You do start seeing changes as time goes on. Just keep building her confidence and not reinforcing her fears and she'll be a big, brave yorkie one of these days!
