Well, an all-protein diet definitely constipates people, so it's not a surprise to hear it's constipating a dog. Does she really only eat chicken and beef? I would be concerned that that's not enough nutrients.

I'd suggest:

1) Work to get her on dog food. Keep trying new brands until you find one she'll eat. Alternatively, you can pick a good brand and wait her out for a day or two until she's hungry enough to eat it.

2) There are a number of ways to make dog food more enticing. A number of people here have their dog on a raw diet.

3) Try more grains and vegetables. You can give her Cheerios as a snack. Yorkies like green beans and pumpkin is supposed to be good for their stomach.
