Feeling very hopeless - dog lunging.

Some of you may already be aware of some of the problems I'm having. Today I'm so frustrated, I'm in tears. My dog seems to be beyond help...he lunged at a neighbour today trying to bite and started showing really aggressive behaviour toward other dogs (previously he was always good). I'm following my trainers advice and give him his space around people...I usually pull him off to the side when I see someone approaching (before he starts barking and growling). If he is quiet, I praise him. If he starts barking I say no and take him further away. Sometimes, after someone passes by and is walking in the opposite direction, he approaches them very close and sniffs them...this only happens when they are walking away from him. I then praise him. Now I'm not even sure I trust him enough to do this as I'm afraid he'll wind up biting them. I love my guy but I don't know I'm doing wrong...it would crush me if he had to be put down because he bit someone. :sad:

Feeling very overwhelmed...
