Answer
Hi Eddie;
Scooby is not a mean dog.
He is a very insecure, nervous dog, unless he was taught to be aggressive.
Go to this site and read what can be done with the massages. You can also order a video to learn how to do them.

I have used this method of animal massage to cure aggressiveness, excessive barking, fears ( wqhich is your dog's REAL problem) and pain relief.
You will need to know how to do the massages for pain relief when Scooby gets older and has Arthritis.
You can kep him active for a lnger life, with fewer meds.
You and your roomate should learn to do the massages.
Just do the massage for aggressiveness before people come over, and before you take him out on a leash where he will see other dogs and people, and before you take him to class.
It takes about a 15 minute massage to make a big difference.
