I guess this is a ”good” but also sad example of what way to often happens, when we try to save them all, even the sweet cute pups.
I have been flamed more than once when I suggest putting down dogs and especially the word culling upsets people.
There are natural thing that not even the best owner can’t change, namely poor temperament and lack of early socializations. Training only covers these issues.
Back to the question:
However I would not recommend you start the drop command without help from an experienced trainer with an 7 years old dog, that already has shown, he dares to use his teeth on an family member.
