Your dog's specific form of aggression can be diagnosed by a dog behaviorist, who will then be able to offer you helpful solutions. The "Nothing in Life Is Free" method is one that is likely to be explained to you (NILIF). NILIF is typically done on dogs that are too dominant.

You should practice a simple command like "sit" with your dog before offering it anything. Food, drink, attention, play, exercise, freedom to roam, toys, etc. As a further rule, your dog is not permitted on any pieces of furniture. Using NILIF is a great way to undo your dog's conditioning in dominant aggression.
