Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is 4yr old Charlie! He is loyal to those he is comfortable with, stays near, never sprints off & always comes back when he is called. He learns very quickly! He's smart, fun and loves to run & herd.

I got him at about 10wks old from a private breeder in OH after searching the internet for Australian Shepherds. I wanted an energetic Aussie as a companion that I could take with me everywhere! He's been on many roadtrips as long as 13 hours.

Unfortunately, Charlie has issues with aggressiveness and has a bite history. I don't understand dog behavior well, but I think he gets overstimulated very easily, and often when food is near.

His ideal home would maybe be with a person/couple (without children) who have experience with these issues or have the passion for training/learning about them. He's had 5 private lessons with a professional dog trainer, learning w/ prong collar, E-Collar and leash training, as well as, the place command.

Charlie is special and has a lot of potential!
