| Re: rescue w/fear issues
I agree that you need to find outside help here. A good dog trainer (with a high degree of behavioral knowledge regarding aggression) or behaviorist (one who not only talks a good game but has handling dogs experience (unfortunatly few do)) is needed so that you can better understand the problem and come up with a solution that fits into what you are doing in a safe manor.
In the short term how old is your son? Is he scared of the dog? Has the dog tried to bite him when he has approached the dog or is it only when he walks away?
Answer these three questions and we may be able to get you started but in the end you will need professional help.
