I am beside myself...I would get rid of my dog in a heartbeat if I thought he was a danger to my children....that being said...

Yesterday, he was teasing my 9 year old, and my 9 year old was teasing him back. He jumped and bit my son on the arm, drew blood and left teeth marks.

Today, my daughter picked him up, surprised him, and as she was lifting him, he bit her on the face!! He drew blood!

I don't know what to do. Obviously, he seems himself as dominant over the kids. I see that. But how can I change him??

His stats: he is 6 mos old, I have had him since he was 7 weeks old. He currently weighs 7 lbs. He is very smart, well trained, easily trainable, too.
