First thing is DO NOT PET THE DOG WHEN IT IS SCARED/ANGRY/ETC. Whenever you give a dog affection, you're nurturing whatever state of mind it's in at that moment. That includes aggression, fear, anxiety, etc.
You need to be the strong, assertive leader. That's what the dog needs right now. Take the dog on a daily walk of at least 45 minutes. Use a choke chain instead of a normal collar. If you can't walk that long, buy a dog backpack and load it with about 14% of the dogs weight and use that while walking and you can take the walk down to 20 - 25 minutes or so.
Yes, this stuff is from Cesar Milan, the Dog Whisperer. And yes, the shit works. You should watch at least a few episodes of it on the national geographic channel and you'll learn a lot. Everything I've ever tried from that show work just as you see it on tv. The guy really is great with dogs.
