Welcome to YT and congrats on your adoption.

1. Yorkies do tend to bond with only one member more than the others, especially their caretaker. You might want to get your daughter to feed and bath her, walk and play with her. If you have not had her long, this might work. Or else once she has her mind set on you being her mommy it will be difficult to change. She will still love your daughter but her preference will always be you.

2. Your potty schedule looks good. Try buying a bell on a rope. Some pet stores sell potty training bells or you can order online. It's easier to just buy any bell since it's Christmas time now. Anyway, shake the rope every time you take Lucy out until she learns to shake the rope herself. That trick worked for a number of people I know.

3. She's already house trained, no need for crate training.

4. You just have to be firm until she finally understands.

Hope this helps.
