It started out as food aggression. A bone, his food, our food, would set him off to growl and get stiff. He's attacked me multiple times and came close to breaking the skin on my fingers.
Now it's aggression due to loud noises, gun shots, fireworks, etc, will set him off to be rigid and extremely aggressive for a few hours.
He seems to snap in and snap out of it within minutes.
I'm at my wits end with him. I love him to death, but I live with my parents now and I'll be moving out in a few months. I'm terrified of him.

The other night I was sitting in bed eating with him on my lap, I dropped a piece of food and went to grab it and he started growling and giving me warning signs he was going to bite. It was 2am and I couldn't call my dad in for help or anything. I had to sit there and not move in fear that if I did he was going to attack me.

I don't want to rehome him, but at this point I am terrified one day he's going to seriously injure me, or someone else.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
