I tried putting a treat in his cage and having his walk in, but he just refuses to go into his crate.

I'm not sure what to do and I can't really stand him tearing my body anymore. His aggression is horrible and he will just growl and show his teeth -- if not bite HARD. I don't know what to do. He was just recently neutered 2 weeks ago and I thought he would've gotten better - but he hasn't. I don't want to give him away - but it looks like I just may have to.

HELPPPPPP!
I have a 4 month old yorkie poo also and she likes going into her crate. I got her to go in there by using treats. I taught her sit, down, off, roll over, got to bed which is her crate. Try teaching her some tricks and when u do that try teaching her to go into her crate while u are doing the tricks with her. She will pick up that going in her crate will get her a treat. When she goes in there praise her alot and close the door for a min then open it up and dont it again. This you have to do everyday till he gets the whole crate=treat=home=happy dog! Where in chicago are you? maybe oneday our yorkie poos can play
