1. Bathroom in the house with no hint or expression the dog needs to go. - This is a yorkie thing, it takes time, patience and commitment (Scary word i know!) and some never get it right...Move on.
2. Getting on the table or into things and tearing them up. - Frustration and attention seeking in my opinion. Mine sneak their jerseys and toys off the coffee table too which is naughty but then i bring them back to basics and give them something else to do in its place. Remember firm but kind, aim the dog away from bad behaviour and towards something good rather.
3. Biting - probably a defense mechanism to you hitting her - eye problems can also be a legitimate problem causing fear. A dog that can't see or has hair across it's face can be snappy and scared.
4. Growling and snapping inside the kennel when I walk by to go to bed. - I would also do the same thing to you because that is what you do to her. you "bark" and "snap" at him/her and lash out in anger.
