[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for all the considered responses. To the poster 15:26, the bite did break the skin but was quick and not terribly deep.  Deep enough that it bled for several minutes but I didn’t need stitches or anything. We have not had a behaviorist but several qualified trainers. Well, minus one who I think told us incorrect info- but the others were good. There’s no way he can stay here- we are all walking on eggshells. He’s so unpredictable and won’t growl, will just lunge. He also attacks my other dog and those attacks have become quite vicious. Again, the underbite is what has prevented any major damage from happening. I’m not interested in any more training- I trust the ones we’ve had and the recommendations have been followed- he’s just still not behaving in a safe way.  I keep him away from the kids-they don’t go near him and we put him in a pen to sleep. (They are 8 and 10 and understand the drill). We lock him up when anyone comes over. In fact, we’ve stopped having people over because it’s so stressful. I want to do right by this dog but no one can touch him but my husband- no one can walk near him when he’s sleeping- no one can play with him. Oddly, he’s way better with outsiders than with our family- he is a major fan of everyone except myself, the kids and our other dog. It’s bizarre[/quote]

OP, if a friend told you this and how you were living, and didn't specify it was a dog, you would think that friend was in an abusive relationship, wouldn't you?

You need to have the dog put down immediately. This is not a rehoming situation. [/quote]
