Excellent advice. Re-directing the behaviour is a great method.
There are trainers that believe in ingoring the 'bad' and re-warding the 'good'. Do not ignore this behaviour, it is unacceptable and needs to be corrected. Diverting the attention is not correcting in a sense but it is altering the 'intent'. If this does not work, then you may have to work on the correction. Everyone has a different interpretation as to what 'correction' means so please do not take it as 'punishment' as this clearly does not remedy the situation.
Before going on how to correct, try what Nansel is suggesting. If that does not work then maybe we can help you on how to correct properly.
Where did you get your puppy and do you know how old he/she was when taken from mother?
This may not be aggression per say. This could simply be puppy behaviour but still should not be allowed as it could escalate.
