children and dogs is a whole lengthy conversation with a lot of ifs, buts, circumstances, and situations. Yes, children can be taught and should be taught to be respectful of animals I don't want to get into that at this point in this thread.
I think the OP and his fiancee need to sit down and really discuss what they are going to do about their current situation. The OP knows there is a problem and wants to fix it so they can live harmoniously together. The only way this is going to work is if you both right up an agreed to schedule and stick to it! Its going to require hard work and a lot of time. Its not going to happen over night, or even over a week or two. its probably going to take a few months.
Watch some episodes of "It's me or the dog" on Animal Planet. Victoria has some great suggestions for the problems you are having. She addresses biting (possessive, fear, aggression), potty issues, walking, and schedules.
Get a dry erase board and actually right the schedule down so you can check off things during the day to make sure you're doing them.
