Default Aggression towards 1 person/son

Hi, I've lurked the boards for 5 years but this is my first post. I have 2 yorkies. My girl (Gigi) is 6 years (got her at 10 months). Last month we got a 9 month old boy (Marleau) who was very scared and skiddish. The people we got him from (rehoming) said that when company would come over he would hide. They had his parents and never even named him so I have a feeling that he was never socialized.

It took him 2 day's to warm up to me and my husband, about 2 weeks to stop growling at my 17 year old but he from day 2-3, he is very aggressive towards my 13 year old. Growling, lunging and biting. If my son walks into a room where Marleau is at, Marleau is in attack mode, and usually gets my son's jeans, but has been bit 4 times in 1 month.

Marleau loves to play fetch and he'll play fetch with my son (as long as my son doesn't move (walk around). He's even layed down next to him a couple times and gone to sleep.

On walks he freezes and growls at people who walk past us.

We have an appointment at the end of March to have him neutered.

I would love advise on what would be the best type of classes for him? I can't have him constantly attacking my son and I don't want him to bite someone that we come across on a walk or when we are out and about.
