I agree with many of the other suggestions. You should definately give the pee pads another chance. Whenever he goes on the floor just say no firmly then place him on the pad. Obviously this must be repeated over and over and over again. Showing him who is in charge by removing food, training frequently and ignoring unwanted attention will all help in showing him who is the boss. When he does go on the pad make sure you make a big deal about it. Let him think he really accomplished something great. Dont crate him! Confining him to a kitchen area or bathroom with a pad is ok but crates are not the answer. As far as the aggression goes it is simply an issue of socialization. He needs to be around other dogs and people as often as possible. Also, read up on teaching methods. Yorkies for dummies is a good book to start with. He'll turn around but it takes time and a lot of repetition.
