Aggressive St. Bernard

I have always wanted a St. Bernard so when my co-worker's St.Bernard had a litter I was so excited to be able to have one.

At the time we had 3 other dogs and Mozart(St.Bernard) was raised my the the other dogs in the house but this summer was a hard one for this family. One dog had to be put down due to kidney failure and cancer, one died from his stomach turning and another one our smallest went on vacation with us and we think she found decon and we lost her. I have been falling apart, and Mozart is really starting to play rough with us.

We have thought that he needs a new play mate but anytime we get him close to another dog he gets very aggressive. Mozart is a 8 month fixed male and I would like him to be able to get along with other dogs.

Last night my husband let him out of the back yard he went to our next door neighbors house to bark at their dogs through the fence, our neighbor went to pet Mozart and he bit her.

He has been raised around people and children and is usually very good with them but this scared me I want to have a dog I can trust with other dogs and people. Can someone help me with some ideas and training tech. Thank you
