You might consider her taking her to your vet to get her nails looked at. If the nail is growing into the skin it needs to be taken care of right away. Often the vet techs will cut the nails too without you having to pay for a vet visit. As for cutting the quick, sometimes no matter how careful we are it just happens but it shouldn't happen with every nail. I know some groomers will purposely cut them short and quick them but I think that is wrong.

The dewclaws are bad about really curling so I would just about bet that they are not in her skin but just curled back. Rear dewclaws are pretty uncommon in yorkies and they should have been removed but some breeders don't remove dewclaws.
