Answer
Start with obedience training.  The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts.  Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog.  Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones.  You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.

The puppy should be friendlier to people that give it treats. It may not have been exposed to enough different people before it was 12 weeks old.  Failing to properly socilize puppies is a common failing even among better breeders.  Between relying on your son for leadership and discovering others often have treats, he should become friendlier.  

The older dogs may or may not ever be very tolerant of the puppy.  Many older dogs that haven't had regular contact with puppies have no interest in puppy games and their sharp little teeth.  You just have to teach the puppy to leave the older dog alone, just like other things.  hen you are watching it, immediately correct it as soon as it goes for anything except its own toys.  In a quiet, but firm voice give it an ''Ah, ah, ah!''.  Gently remove what ever and replace it with one of her toys, or if older, hold eye contact until the puppy drops it.
