Welcome to YT, I can't answer ALL your questions, but others will.
Question # 2-My yorkie doesnt like to come or listen when she's out side but when shes inside she does well with her stay and come command. ....Outside are many distractions, spend more time outdoors with her training. You need her to be focused on YOU when you are training outdoors.I suggest (providing she has had ALL her shots) take her on walks, satisfy her curiosity for out doors, she is a new baby in a big world of smells outside her home. Inside home training is easier, no distractions. Outdoors is harder to keep their attention, you must train indoors to be focused on YOU, once you have mastered indoors her focusing on you, then take it outdoors where there are fewer distractions, when that is mastered then go to an area where there are more distractions. We have several members that may offer up their excellent training tips.
Question # 4-My yorkie gets cars sick occasionall, try a booster seat where she can see out of the windows, open window where she can get fresh air...... My 3 y/o adopted boy got car sick all the time when I first got him. I bought a Tagalong Pet Booster Seat at Pet Supply, it is elevated OFF the passenger seat. In the 6 months he has been using it he has never gotten sick. I felt in Cody's car sick case a booster seat that did not set on the passenger seat was best for him. Other members will be along with seats that they use and eliminated car sickness.

Question # 3-
How many times should I bathe my yorkie. I'll leave that up to other members, because I started bathing Cody once a week with a good quality oatmeal shampoo that is to be safe to use several times a week, it was left on for 10 minutes as per the label instructions 6 weeks later he ended up having very dry skin from over bathing, was biting himself to the point where he drew blood. I now have to use a shampoo which can only be gotten at my vet. This shampoo can be used several times a week. Cody will not get a bath once a week anymore, I will stretch it to 2 or 3 times a month. It is now winter, he doesn't spend a lot of time digging in the yard, so bathing once a week is not necessary and he needs time for his skin to mend. Many members bathe once a week or every other week in the summer months, less in the winter. I am sure they will be along to give their advise and experience.
she shake really bad when she gets around people.
She may just need more socializing with strangers, again, providing she has had ALL her shots, try taking her to places where there are ppl. Maybe pet shoppes like Pet Smart, PetCo, Pet Supplies, Home Depot & Lowes allows dogs. Take her several times a week. Hope this helps, again, other will be along with suggestions.
