Welcome to YT. Having a puppy is like adding a new born baby to your family. EVERY Thing changes. We some times don't get enough sleep and it seems like everything is up to us. Even stay at home people with out children and other pets get over whelmed and stressed during the puppy stage. That is ok. Take a deep breath and smile like you have just won the lottery. Take a break, go for a walk, chat up a friend, even get on here and vent. This too shall pass. All this early training will help your Yorkie learn the family rules.
You can stop her from harassing the older dog. Use a firm cue word like Enough and clap your hands to get her attention. If she stops, call her to you and reward with praise, pets even tiny one bite size treats are ok to use. If she does it again repeat with the same cue. Soon she will understand what you want her to do. Some times a brief time out in another room works to calm an over excited pup. You do not have to allow her to be bossy, nippy or braty. You are the PLP (provider, leader, and protector) of the family. She is not the parent.
Potty accidents usually happen when a pup has too much freedom, too soon. Puppies that are not fully house broken should not roam free for one minuet.
Yorkie Talk has a wonderful library of posts check out the ones about potty training.
Again Welcome to YT.
