First things, first! Make him sit and stay every time you pet him and every time you feed him. Pet him while he eats so he will not be food aggressive and allow him to sit, stand or lie down while eating but he must be relaxed and also, put your fingers/hand in his food bowl while he eats while petting him- crate train, also. All training in a positive manner, no harshness needed, only consistency Enjoy!
this is a good idea and so is the crate training that is how I have always potty trained a dog
