We (my wife and I) were told by the breeder that we should roll our puppy on his back everyday so he knows his role in the family. It was also told to us by our trainer (not Nick's trainer) that possesion is very important to puppies if they feel that what they have is theirs they will become aggressive. We did many excercises of giving Nick raw hide and taken it away. Also playing with his food while he is eating. Basically we forced ourselves to be involved in everything he does so he will have an understanding of our role in his life. Once we set the ground rules. He started behaving. Another exercise that was helpful was holding his treat and as he approached our fingers, upon first sensation of nibble on skin we would scream as if he really hurt us. I hope this is helpful. Sounds like you got yourself a handful! A bloody handful!
