For the stored procedures do:

SELECT 'EXEC sp_changeobjectowner ''' + name + ''', '''dbo''''
FROM sysobjects
WHERE uid = USER_ID('co-worker')

copy, paste and run result set. This will take care of stored procedures,
tables etc. Note that any references to these procedures from elsewhere will
need to be updated.

I have never worked with DYS, so I cannot answer that part.
