[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I do know that the situation is not ideal. But, aside from giving up the dog, which we're nowhere near ready to do, what else can we do besides what I already described?[/quote]

Re-home the dog to a home with no kids.  The dog will be happier and less stressed there.  And your family will be happier too.[/quote]

OP, we didn’t have a pit mix but we did have a dog like yours (afraid of multiple things, couldn’t pet while sleeping, had lots of stressors, was a rescue ). We rehomed to an adult only house. It was best for us, and likely the dog. He needed a much calmer environment than we could provide. I decided that I wasn’t going to live walking on eggshells in my own home for the next 10+ years for a dog. And although our dog never bit someone, I was always worried with kids that someone would come over and not follow the “rules”. Rehome, and get a nice family dog. Go to a breeder this time.

A vet neighbor told us she only recommends breeders for first time dog owners and people with kids. She said the window of time for socialization is so small that it’s not worth risking it with a rescue with so many unknowns. I now agree with that! [/quote]
