Hi, I assume your dogs are a Maltese x Yorkie, so have the temperament of both that breed. They are both on the list of the two most highly strung little fellas. They are Terriers and as such are plucky, vocal, active etc etc. Lola may have thought quite rightly you were going to take something yummy off her! she is defending her catch/find. I would suggest being firm, but not harsh, she is a puppy finding her feet in the big world, bless. I start by learning my pups that I can give them something, but will take it away, I do it in play times with toys and give little treets as a learning tool. The first few times I bathed KiKi she nipped the brush when I was combing her, but with a little patience she realised I wasn't going to hurt her, so it was small step for trust. You must be able at anytime to look into your dogs mouth, what if it was something dangerous. Use the search tool, I am sure other members have had the same probs, and there are alot of experienced Yorkie people on here. Good Luck with your two new pups.
