I have a Shih Tzu and a Yorkie as well, but for me it was the opposite. My shih Tzu ( Zeus) was a year ol when I got my Yorkie ( Athena).

the advice the others gave you I agree with an think is good. I would defiantly try the treat thing. Its just something she has to learn. she dosnt realize this is a little one and cant play as long as her.

As for the growling, you probably just have a very vocal girl. My athena is like that to. When we first brought her home at SIX WEEK OLD I use to get so worried because she growled like crazy at her bigger brother an looked like she was trying to tear him apart despite her tiny self. LOL "SHES A TERRIER" thats what I learned real quick and she was simply acting like a terrier. Despite the way they played, they loved each other to death. Zeus was very protective of her ( not aggressively) but he slept with her to keep her warm, got upset when I took her to the vet, and when we got back had to check her over and make sure she was ok. To this day they are the best of friends. Athena is now 8 months old.
