My black lab has become increasingly violent with strangers. He has not responded to traditional training techniques and i am afraid for my kids and company. Any ideas of how to save his life and protect my family too. I am pretty sure he needs to leave my house but I am afraid to take him to the pound because i dont think he has a chance to be adopted.

Take him to the vet for a thorough check-up, there may be a medical reason for his change in behavior. It's not normal for a pet who's loved and treated with kindness to suddenly become aggressive. He may be in pain, or could have something going on in his brain that's causing these changes. It's not safe for him to be around your children if you don't know what's going to set him off, and a lab is big enough to do some serious damage very quickly to a child! Call the Dog Whisperer. you have to become the dominant dog in the relationship sounds funny i know but he wants to dominate i have a chocolate lab like that i have to get in his face and face him down

just make sure you and the family are dominate

try sit stay fetch its a book find it on the web Kill it Check out my website at http://www.libertydogtraining.com.

If I can help, please email me.

I have experience with dominant and aggressive dogs, so I may be able to help.

Unfortunately, if he has already bitten he can not be rehomed. In NC, if you give a dog away that has already bit, you are liable if that dog bites someone else in the future.
