I kind of think the realationship that you have built has damaged his thinking of you. He does something negative you should redirect him to a positive... For example if he goes potty ( and you see him doing it) then take him where he should be going. A lab and a yorkie are literally a different breed... One can be 60-100 pounds the other at the very most 20 pounds. Smacking them on their bums can just get ones attention and cause serious harm to the other. You should never hit a dog or smack them period... Why would the come to something that causes them harm? If you want to keep him you need to build a POSITIVE relationship. Also you want your pup to feel his crate is a safe place not somewhere he goes to be punished. Start doing things with him that are positive, when he comes to you give him a treat, when you are watching TV grab a toy he likes and put him on your lap and relax, show him you have a positive side and are not just there in a negative way. Many times it is us that need to be trained so perhapes looking into a training class so they can teach you how to properly train your pup. You can't feel resent toward your pup because he is scared of you... That is like being mad at a child for being afraid of his abuser. If you feel that you can't do these things I believe you are right... Rehoming is the best option.
