This is a serious issue that will only worsen with age. Consider an evaluation with a veterinary behavioral specialist as well as a certified trainer. Your dog needs to learn you do not "belong" to him and he doesn't have to "protect" you from friends and family members. Obedience training is strongly recommended as is instituting a "nothing is free" program at home. This means whatever your dog wants, he must "work" for it. It can be as simple as sitting before meals, walks, or playtime. Be firm and be consistent. Reward appropriate behavior and correct negative behavior immediately.
