Training will help... buy a good book and start doing 10- or 15-minute sessions a day. Also, I second the suggestion of keeping him on a leash when your son is not right there with you. My father-in-law tethered his spoo in the house (and other people's homes) until 18 months... 1 year old is still young (mentally), but the dog is big, so this can cause trouble as you found out.
Also, neutering *may* calm him down some. It couldn't hurt. Please don't breed this dog. We are not bashing when we say this, but coming from a place of good intentions.
