I have a few questions for you:

1. Has she had a physical recently?
2 Is she spayed? If not, how old is she?
3. Is the biting/aggression getting progressively worse?
4. What seem to be the triggers that lead her to bite?
5. What body gestures is she giving prior to the bite? (raised hair, stiff stance, staring, etc?)
6. What have you tried to do to correct the behavior??
7. What were the circumstances around each of the episodes? (What was the person doing, etc.)
8. What did she "fail" in basic obedience class? Why?


Also, a trainer is not necessarily a behaviorist, so be aware that the trainer may be giving you tips, but may not be well versed in dog behavior modification.

Please answer these questions asap so I can start working on putting together the best course of action to help you help her!

Hope you see this! She sounds like she knows how to help your Yorkie , and family!
Best wishes
