[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, to answer your question, you can tell your children honestly that you're getting rid of the dog because he bit someone. Or you could lie and say you can't afford a dog. Make sure to tell them that you're not getting any other dogs again, since you don't know what to do about a lab who makes any displays of aggression, or find out how to deal with it.[/quote] I agree with this advice. The OP wants to get rid of the dog; she does not want to work with a trainer to address the problem. Please be honest with your kids and never get another dog. Also, OP, please be honest with the shelter and give a detailed account of the snap and the bite. Your dog is a resource guarder (food, beds)--it did not bite unprovoked. The sooner you give the dog up, the sooner the dog can get the training it needs. You've let the problem get worse by doing nothing for a year. [/quote]
