Just so you are CERTAIN of my thoughts, I WOULD NOT GIVE OR RE-HOME THIS DOG TO ANY ONE THAT WOULD TAKE HIM--ONLY TO THE RIGHT PERSON/PEOPLE.
In your experience with Rottweilers, I would like to know exactly why I gave bad advice---I have seen many dogs "brought back" and have helped a few in my time---what about YOU??

The issue of rehoming is that, especially where a behaviour issue has been compounded by the owner, the owner is probably the LAST person on earth who would be in a position to determine who does and who does not qualify as "experienced". An owner who fails to acknowledge the issue until it's a safety issue and only makes calls and has phone consultations does not recognise the seriousness of the behaviour and this is not someone I would want making a judgement call that might put a dog into the wrong hands and lead to another horrifying bite statistic.
The dogs that are "turned around", I would think, are few and far between and so are the people who can turn them around. We aren't talking about a dog who is ruining furniture here, we're talking about a dog who is LUNGING at people.
I couldn't agree more with Pooh...and I hope that the OP takes responsability here ans TAKES ACTION.
