Perhaps you will be able to undo this. I am so upset whenever I see people tout that stupid alpha thing. It often does nothing but terrify a little dog. We are huge compared to them and coming down on them, growling at them, and flipping them on their backs is not a solution....it is leading to major problems.
Hopefully the trainer you are working with can help you to turn him around. I have taken pups in like him and found that they just need to have space and learn that no one is going to threaten and/or hurt them. Just takes a lot of love and patience.
I wish you good luck!
