You are absolutely right. In fact, yorkies should never ever be walked by the collar. They require a harness because the yorkie breed is prone to collapsed trachea. There are other ways to teach her to walk correctly. A harness that attaches the leash in the front could help. Every time she pulls, she will be turned around immediately. She won't get where she wants like that. Another thing, as soon as she starts pulling, turn around and walk in the opposite direction for a few steps. Then try heading in the original direction again. Point is, you have to teach her that pulling isn't going to get her where she wants to go. Walking nicely will.
