Yeah, I'd agree with Clyde_Dexter. The first thing I look at when there's destructive behavior is their level of exercise. A tired dog is a good dog. Some claim that Yorkies don't need exercise beyond what they get in the house and the yard, but I've found they certainly benefit from it.

And definitely experiment with healthy alternatives for her to chew on. Kongs stuffed with a treat work for some. I recently discovered Himalayan chews. A little pricy, but they last forever and my dogs love them. I understand they're a real hard cheese, but it takes the dogs forever to wear it down so I'm not worried about them eating too much cheese. Mine LOVE bully sticks, and they're relatively safe if you take them away when they get too small to avoid swallowing. But they don't last as long.

Good luck.
