She has pretty much had the run of the house since we brought her home. The only times that she is confined is at night and when we have to leave her at home alone and this is not confinement to a crate but rather to an area off the kitchen which leads to a half bath.

Please, if there is someone who is out there that can help me understand this behavior and how to change or avoid it, please let me know. If I have to part with my puppy I will be very, very, very sad. Thanks for all of your help. I think that this is a wonderful forum and the Yorkie Talkers are fantastic.

I also would highly suggest obedience training. I'm sure you could find some reasonably priced courses.
