[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- he has lunged at me multiple times but only actually bitten me once- when I was reaching down to pet him. His episodes are out of the blue, usually at night when he’s tired. We have learned never to approach him when he’s sleeping. He doesn’t react the same way with my husband but has lunged (growling, snarling) at my kids when they are sitting on “his” couch ( he is no longer allowed on any furniture). [b]Writing it all out it does seem crazy that we are trying to rehome him[/b]- it’s just that he is so different with my husband than he is with myself and the kids and our other dog. I was hoping that maybe in a calm home with no kids or dogs or other stimuli he would behave differently, but I certainly am not sure that will be the case. I have tried to be an alpha too but for so,e reason he only recognizes my husband. [/quote]

Not at all. Lunging in an aggressive manner and biting are grounds for rehoming to a knowledgeable professional. And possibly grounds for putting to sleep.
So how does he lunge? Any warning signs before that, ears thrown back, white of eyes, growls?
How was that bite? Where?
