Yorkie pups also like to play nonstop... you will have to get her on a schedule of playtime with you, playtime with you and the other two dogs, taming time with just you, and if you walk her it may help to burn up some of her energy so she'll not aggravate the others as much. Any time you cannot be right there watching her, she should be in an xpen or out of harm's way ....

You will also have to protect the other 2 dogs from her high energy antics... older dogs don't tolerate a lot of silliness from a pup. If you get her bonding with you, maybe she'll leave the older ones alone for some peace and quiet, and play with you instead.

Also, your Yorkie pup may be beginning (or will begin in a month or two to go through some hormonal changes, which can cause problems in the house. Having a separate room or an xpen just for her for quiet time will come in handy....
Thank you for all your info. I have kept them all seperate, at times they have all played together. I have two Play pens for the puppy.
