When a dog displays aggressive behavior, give the dog a loud and firm “No!” and put the dog in time out. Dogs love attention of their owners and this time out will cut it off from its owner after the bad behavior.

Allow him to come out after the designated time and the next time the dog becomes aggressive, do the same thing and the dog will understand that this negative behavior makes his master upset.
