I would try time outs in a crate or a bathroom, with firm no's instead of yelling. Every single time, a firm no and an immediate time out for the pup. Consistency is critical.

I also would only have kiddo play with the pup when you are right there for now. I have read countless times that yorkies are not good with young kids (under 8ish). Many breeders actually will not sell a yorkie to a family with a small child. Since you already have the two together, you can likely get her to at least tolerate and not hurt the 5 year old.
