With my Airedale Misty I used to have to fight with her everyday for the first 5 years of her life. I would be 3 inchs from her face as she was barking at me full tilt. I was never afraid, because if I said ouch she would stop, lick my nose and go back to fighting and vice versa.
If the dog bites someone in the family there is something that is going on your not paying attention to and rectifying. It is incumbent on you as the leader of the pack and being a human who is ostensibly smarter then the dog to be aware of.
The question now arises, exactly how dysfuncitonal is your family?
