Our 3 1/2 year rescue old has always had issues. He has bitten my spouse and I several times. Nothing had happened since May 2020, until recently. In December 2020 he was startled and he bit a repairman. Last week my spouse was holding him and he got violent and would have bitten, had he not been set down. A few days ago our grandchild startled him, and if he hadn’t moved his hand fast he would have bitten him.
That was the final straw. If we can’t figure this out, we will have to get rid of him. We can kennel him when people come over, but our place is small and the barking drives us crazy. Our groomer is a former trainer and she thinks he has a screw loose. We love our dog, but are at wits end. We will cry and be sad for a long time if we give him up, but if he ever hurt one of our grandchildren or a friend, that would be worse. I think we know the answer, but are holding out a while, for a solution.
Thanks
