However, BULLYING the puppy isn't going to help at all! Yelling at him, shaking him, holding him by the scruff, will only make him afraid of you. THAT can lead to aggression as he ages. No one wants to be raised by a bully.

I agree 100%, bullying is NOT an option, you want a dog who will trust you not fear you and run from you. Please dont stare into his eyes as dogs view this as aggression, not as who is boss. Redirection is the key and you really MUST be consistent with it. Also, do you have a correction collar, If so use it? He growls and you, correct him, a firm tug and a No. He bites you, correct him - once again a firm tug and a NO!
