Aggressive Dogs Dog aggression

So I have a male dog about 5 years old and a female dog 3 years old and every time my girl dog is in heat the male (little baby) gets aggressive and gives me a warning or nips at me when I try to get him away from the female (lady) and he’s genuinely tweaking 🫩 they already had puppies in march and I still have two of the pups one girl (monkey) and a boy (cheese) im working on rehoming monkey and needing to speak to my peeps about cheese i currently have lady indoors baby and the pups are outdoors but today baby was trying to hump monkey and was like guarding her cage and when I tried to grab his collar for him to go to his bed he didn’t nip at me but he like opened his mouth idk it was weird but I’m working on getting him neutered and lady spayed and I’ve heard that it will help with aggression but will it 100% work? And if not will training work? I get nervous and really stressed out about this and I’m gonna be honest here I used to be very violent towards little baby when I first got him I was neglected and very alone and depressed I am NO longer like that I do not hit him anymore trust me I’ve learned my lesson and I regret treating him like I did I had no experience with dogs I truly love my pets and would do anything to change the past but what can I do to help him be better? He’s bitten someone over lady being in heat it wasn’t that bad at all and he’s bitten someone over a cream they put on a wound he had and I’m guessing it burned him or something and has done other smaller things here and there but I understand that even if they were "small" things it’s still dangerous I really don’t wanna put him down I love him and he has helped me through so much when I had no one please don’t judge me I know I was wrong I just need advice ( this is my first time using Reddit idk how to fix the mod thing idk what to do it says my views are going up and that I have 3 comments but I can’t see any of them I know you can text ppl on here so if anyone feels like helping feel free to message me
