Hi Amanda, yes you certainly can stop this with "training". you must teach him biting and charging people at the door is NOT ACCEPTABLE behavior. to Teach him, first put him on a leash in the house, when some one comes to the door and knocks, pick up the lead and make sure he is kept at least 4 feet away from the door, then say come in, soon as the person starts to enter and he chrges the door say "NO" in a very strong loud voice while pulling the leash back towards you, keep pulling until he looks at you, then reward him for looking at you and not paying any attention to the person at the door, , soon as he turns towards the person at the door again to bark or charge say NO again and get his attention and reward him again. You are rewarding him for ignoring the person at the door and looking at you, in other words you now should become the one he looks to as soon as the door bell rings or someone knocks. It will take awhile and REPEATED training until he realizes you are more important than the person at the door. DO NOT let him off the leash until he ignores the door , it may take days or weeks all depends on how much or how many times some one is at your door.
