How do you deal with this? I play with her by throwing balls across the long hallway, I walk her until I believe she is tired, etc., etc.

This is a serious issue that I believe all potential Yorkie owners she be aware of (esp those with children and time constraints)

I've tried the bully sticks, the Kong, etc. Once she's done with them, she's at me again.

I can't even see leaving these dogs for long periods of time, they are so social!
I think you should give her play time for a set amount of time and make sure she gets a good walk. I find that when the weather permits and we can get out for a 45 minute walk, then he is much better. Dogs get bored like we do and I know both of us have suffered from cabin fever this year. After the walk and play time you have be firm and say no or ignore her until she lays down. That is pretty much what I did. It is harder when they can't get outside, but winter is winter. I am working on getting mine on the treadmill. He is not afraid of it and walked with me for 10 minutes. We will be doing this as much as possible.
