He has always had resource guarding issues and we have been working on these issues with him since he was a couple of months old. We have worked with a trainer extensively and have had him on a learn to earn program. The guarding has has not gotten better. We also just had a baby. When it was just the two of us we felt comfortable dealing with the dog's issues, negotiating him out of a guarding situation and working around him. But even then he would sometimes aggress at us. Now that we have the baby we are very fearful of what will happen when she begins to crawl, etc. We just don't trust him and are sadly considering trying to find another home for him. We are deeply saddened and don't consider ourselves quitters but must put the safety of our daughter first. Any thoughts/advice? Thank you Hello,
