I don't like spray bottles-how would you react to it? Muzzles suck but she sounds just defensive of you, perhaps or just getting territorial, she's an adult now at sexual maturity fixed or not, she's at the right age to adjust her place in the pecking order-Yorkies can be like that as much as any dog but especially they are one of the most aggressive small dog breeds actually...a soft muzzle may be necessicary to get her used to physical attention (petting) from your daughter teaching her she can't bite-only for 10 minute periods once a day...try Dogswell Mellow Mut, use removal-if she's bad she gets removed for like 2 minutes, or/and working with a behaviorist (like reading or watching Ceasar Millan and Victoria Stilwell if not a local one). She's peaked her sexual maturity and you may just be seeing that but it is important to positively punish and nip the behavior before it is a pattern...shock collars, physical punishment (yes like a spray bottle) well it induces fear and aggression even more-doggy time outs work but dogs are at the same level of a toddler at best more than two minutes and whatever happened before is gone...it takes repeat behavior, practice and persaveriance.
