Default Won't focus on me if distracted - Good Treats?!

Hi! So I am new to this, but I recently got my first yorkie, her name is Lexie, in November. She is now just a little over four months old, and I love her!!

We are currently in puppy school, and doing clicker training - and I am slightly discouraged becasuse when it comes down to it, if there is any other dogs around or really anything else exciting going on, she could care less about treats and me. When at home, and not distracted she will focus on me most of the time when I am training her, and is glad to get some form of treat.

I know Yorkies are adventerous, I have read quite a few books, but it was hard to see all the other dogs start to focus on their owners when they had food, and Lexie could have cared less. She just wanted off her leash and to go play with all the other dogs and not me.

Does any one have any kind of recommendation for yorkies of treats they just love!? I have tried baked chicken, turkey peices, wellness jerky treats, and some other varieties of soft treats. All of these she will eat, but I thought maybe if I could find a treat that is amazing (and still not bad for her) that she couldn't resist then I might become more intresting than the other dogs and she will begin to focus on me even when there are other exciting things going on as well.

Thanks
