Eukanuba isn't that great of a brand. She needs a good holistic brand.

Here are a few brands you can you look into...
Life's Abundance
Blue Buffalo
Innova
Honest Kitchen
Wellness

You can do a search on here and see the different kinds of quality food everyone feeds.
Just remember you need a food with no fillers, artificial flavors/colors, no corn and one that isn't too high in protein. Also you may want to avoid chicken as well, some yorkies are prone to have an allergy towards chicken and corn.

As for the shredding of the pee pads, either buy washable ones or a pad holder that keeps the pad in place so she can't get to it so easily to shred it.

Never try the alpha roll on her, it will do far more damage to her. It should only be used on highly aggressive large breeds and even then I am not a fan of it and would never do it.
In the wild or in dog terms, when another dog flips another on their back (the alpha roll) it is usually done to kill them.
Doing this can cause more aggression (because they now fear you and try to defend themselves) or it will cause more submission such as submissive urinating.
