Another question i have is tonight and other nights when the pup gets a hold of something he's not supposed to have and you finally catch him and take it away he gets extremely aggressive. Anything i can do to stop this behavior.

Thanks for the free bumps hopefully we can all have some nice calm and trained dogs

teaching the "leave it" command is really helpful.
to begin teaching this take 2 treats put one in a hand behind your back, tell your pup to sit , put the other treat on the floor in front of him, and say "leave it" if he sits still for even a second say "good leave it" and at the same time give him the treat from the hand behind your back...
just keep practicing this and soon he will sit still for longer periods...
eventually you will be able to use this command when he gets an object you do not want him to have
