Never hit a dog-let alone a pit.
Pits should not be trained the same as other dogs they require specialty training-period.
Two pups of inmatched breeds are not a good idea.
Furthmore both breeds have prey drive chase instinct as they are both terriers-the pit will always win.
Either get immediate specialty trainer to come to your home and not only train but set up a coexisting environment or you need to consider rehoming.
Newer training methods show positive preliminary results-the method is to not give pits chews-ever-they will often unpurposefully begin to chew in play on an undesirable object...as in your yorkie. Prey drive recall obediance is critical.
Always separated while unattended.
