I really do not like to give advice about aggression on line. It is not possible to see in person what triggers the behavior. This seems to be common guarding behavior. Arm yourself and a friend with a small spray bottle of water. Set it to stream, not mist.
If he is doing this guarding on your lap. When he starts say 'ENOUGH !' and put him on the floor. Repeat every time. If he is really nippy it is ok to spray him and say Enough. Have the other person armed with a spray bottle and have them squirt the dog if it charges them,have them also say Enough in a firm tone. Tell them to stand their ground and not to hop around or back off. Spray and say Enough.
