WOW get this under contror NOW, the more comfortable he
gets and knows that is his home....it is only going to
get worse if this is not taken care of.
If need be.....not only obedience training but a trainer in
behavior issues. DO NOT WAIT THIS VERY MINUTE IS NOT
"SOON ENOUGH".

It's impossible to tell you exactly what needs to be done, in detail, from a one-time post on a discussion board. I am not an expert and I cannot say if this is aggression or resource-guarding or something else. However, I know everyone here wants to see this turn out well for your family, both human and canine. That's why we are all suggesting you get professional help.
In the meantime, very careful management is required to make sure everyone in your home is safe. I'm stating the obvious here, and I'm sure you know this, but because this is a public board that can be read by anyone, I'll say again that a dog and a baby or young child should never be left alone together, period. That's just common sense in every situation.

We have an article that we sometimes give our new adopters and others in situations like this, it is called Alpha Boot Camp and it tells you how to become the alpha leader in your home and control issues like you are having. Please read it and follow its advice and let us know if you have any questions.

people, what works for one may not work for another.
I am PRAYING for ALL of you. If he goes back to the shelter
the outcome will not be good, if the issues are not resolved
that is not good either.
Please keep us updated

our unawareness of dog body language and how they interpret our body language.
Thumbs up to incorporating the basics in the article as well as an obedience class - wish it was a requirement
for "all" whom own any breed of dog.
For anyone whom is interested I found Brenda Aloff's book "Aggression in Dogs - Practical Management, Prevention & Behavior Modification" to be of great interest/educational - although she has alot of knowledge in this area - I found it more enlightening as far as reading dog body language, various types of aggression (case history examples) and just communicating "better" with your dog. My current dobes have "aggression" situations with each other and one is very high energy/prey drive driven and this book has given me more insight as to how to manage it better.

I have heard many good things about Brenda Aloff and her methods. I have a couple of her books, though not the one mentioned above. She is in the Midland area. Several of my training instructors and fellow training club members have taken lessons from her.
Darla, I sure hope you'll post again with an update.
