Hi,

There is no magic thing you do and your dog stops being aggressive. You need to completely change your line of behavior. When a dog is aggressive, it was either poorly socialized or it has had poor human leadership. You should find the reason and address it. It can take time but with proper approach chances of success are high. Sometimes it's best to have professional help but if your dog's aggression hasn't gone too far you can follow the tips from these articles:

that depends on how severe the behavior is sometimes you can help it yourself if you learn to become a pack leader but sometimes it's better to get a professional dog behaviorist's help if you're afraid to get bitten or if your dog is a large or strong tempered breed like a pit bull.
What kind of aggression are we talking about? Food aggression, aggression to other animals or people, spontaneous aggression? How long has it been happening, how bad is it? Has your dog ever bitten anyone? It will be easier to help if you give more details.
