Aggressive to ME not my husband

[Bismarck]

work on his obedience, sit, down, stay etc..
do all this inside the house. eventually move outside, once he has everything down inside the house. (use GOOD treats).
work on using a different method of telling him "no". something like ahah.

you don't want to tell him "no" don't give you a warning growl. you always want a warning!!!!!

This is where the training will "click" in his head, when he starts to growl, you use the ahah, and he'll remember that that isn't something he should be doing (because you used it during your training).
and if he does start to growl, play time is immediately over.
as for the paws..
that's something you have to work your way towards, along with the training.
no dogs on the couch. period. they have to have a boundry, especially dogs who aren't totally stable. give him a dog bed next to the couch, and while he's sleeping and you're watching tv, reach down and pet him. slowly work your way towards his paws. eventually he'll see you don't mean him any harm and will accept it without a sound.
