If you were there and he went fierce, he doesn't think you can handle the job as Alpha pack protector, and he is taking over.
I had a giant Rott for 11 years with no problems, but I had to work with him every day. never hurt him (Rott...impossible anyway), just gently make him lay submit every day...just like they do in a pack. And never, ever, let him play using his mouth...no exceptions with this with a Rott.
