She's only three months old and she actually leaves it alone after you tell her, "No"? I'd say this is pretty darn good. It took Joey a lot longer than that, and I had to actively teach, "Drop it." Remember not to use the word, "no" too much, and sometimes it's easier to use sprays such as "Bitter Apple" on things that you don't want them to chew. I also recommend puppy proofing the house, so that they can play with most of the items the find. If she's just stomping her back legs when you say no, I wouldn't be upset, the girl just has that "Yorkie attitude"! You really need to make a video of that, I'll bet it's adorable. Your yorkie will probably never be like other dogs who always want to please their master, yorkies are for those who like a challenge. You could over discipline, but you don't ever want to break her spirit!
