She said that she's had a couple of dogs who never warmed up to visitors in her home and so she had to keep them separated. Not much help to me as that was not what I wanted. Realistic, maybe, so that's why I was polling the group.

Sounds to me like you already got the solution from your trainer, but it's not what you wanted to hear, so you are going to keep asking until you hear what you want to hear. Which is what? Don't worry about your dog acting out towards your father? I'm sure he won't bite him? You're not going to get that answer here. You should take this threat that your dog is giving your dad seriously and take every precaution so that he doesn't make good on his threat. And that means keeping your dog away from your dad. I don't mean to sound snippy, but there are way too many people who don't listen to what their dog is saying and that is how bite incidences occur and then then people say - see, I told you rottweilers were bad!
