Also, I strongly advise against smacking the dog. I understand your first priority is protecting your daughter. How big is Bear? Get a hold of his body and restrain him rather than hitting him.
Make it clear to your daughter that hitting is not acceptable because she may use this tact when Bear is not behaving in a desirable way (I don't mean biting or attacking). Then you will have an unfixable and dangerous situation.
