Sounds like an attention seeking (not necessarily aggressive) behavior. You should get him to a trainer. Find someone who uses positive, reward based training methods. Look for someone who does Clicker Training - as it is inherently a positive method. It's the same model of training that is used with Grizzly Bears, Killer Whales and other animals that could kill us if they wanted to. It's safe and very effective.
In the meantime, if the dog gets mouthy - walk away. Go into another room if you have to. The idea is to let the dog know that he will NOT get attention that way. Praise him for the behaviors you DO want.

Obedience training! Consult a professional to get this problem under control immediately.

fold a belt in half...then grab it by each side and put ure fists together....then pull back really fast...this makes a snapping noise that will scare the dog...do this IMMEDIATELY after he shows aggressive behavior. or roll up a newspaper and hit him on a kind leg...not hard tho

Get him trained. PetSmart offers classes where they work WITH you to train you pet, Man's Best Friend trains them for you but is probably gonna be more expensive.

If it's a puppy, it's probably that its teeth are growing and it just nibbling and biting things to help ease the itching.
