That is at least a step in the right direction. Keep the leash and harness on him at all times. You need to distract him when you know he is going to behave this way. If he is aggressive around food then do not free feed him. It will be hard to break this type of aggression and I have never been able to fully do this with Pebbles. If you hand feed him ONLY this will help but it might not fix the issue and food aggression is very serious especially when you have children in your home. Do not leave food out at all for any of your animals. When it is time to feed you need to make him eat out of your hand. Have others in the house do it as well.

When you walk into the room does he growl or try to attack or bite? Let's say he is laying on the couch and you try to sit down. What will he do?
