An excellent food for Yorkies is Bil Jac frozen (about $5 a bag), and Bil Jac puppy kibble (about $5 for a 3 lb bag. If this brand doesn't work, try another brand like Royal Canin until you find one that the pup really likes. Always feed her in her crate, also put chew bones and toys like a small 'Kong' in the crate while you are away. Put a little peanut butter in the Kong that way she can try to get at it, interact with the toy, and work off some aggressive behavior.
When you put her in the crate, give her a treat - the same when you get home and let her out. After you put her in the crate, don't leave right away. Try leaving her in it for very short intervals, return and give her a treat - something of quality, not a cheap fatty treat, that will just make her spastic and possibly aggressive again. The term, "You are what you eat," applies to our pets too.
Hope this helps, please let us know.

Be careful when putting chew bones and food /certain toys in the crate while your away as it might cause choking!
