Default Too old to train?

My yorkie Snooki will be 5 years old in October. He is my first pet and I love him dearly. When he was younger I took him to obedient classes and have taught him tricks and commands. He's not super obedient but he sits when I tell him to and comes when I call him (usually).

What's been getting worse lately is the way he acts towards strangers and bigger dogs. He HATES them. He barks at them non stop and has even tried snapping at some people. It really hurts me when he acts like so because I feel like it's my fault. I've been told that 5 years old is to old to train, but is there something I can do to correct this poor behavior?

He also barks alot. At any little sound or any people or dogs he sees out the window. Is there anything I can still do, or should I just live with it?
