Trooper, My Aggressive German Shepherd.

I have the most beautiful two year old long haired king german sheperd. But it's become fearful to be around him.

The most random things trigger him to snap and I just dont know what to expect anymore. He is a dominant agressive dog and it's starting to scare me and my family.

He will not move when he is told to, resists obeying commands he already knows, defends his food bowl, jumps on people and lots more.

One time, I petted him on his back near his bum and he snapped,growled and barked. He gets this look in his eye and I'm trying to find a way to deal with all this.

I dont want to have to put him down because he is my pride and joy, but I need to figure out what do with him, I need some suggestions. :) Is there anything I can do other then getting a trainer?

I know that he is a pure breed and they can be really hard to train, But it's really expensive to put him in a dog taining facility.
