I read this with my heart pounding. I am so glad your son and the other professionals were there and that both dogs survived with minimal injuries.
I only work with puppies and toy breeds. I had to admit I do not have the physical stamina to control large dogs. I was attacked by a Doby that had been abused. It was all I could do to protect my face. He knocked me down and being on the ground is a big disadvantage to regaining control. I was very blessed, that a strong and quick thinking trainer was working a dog near my area. He was able to net the dog and remove him. A trainer should be able to keep the dogs and people she/ he is working with safe. If you are not a professional don't work with dogs that are dangerous. If you are a professional know and admit your limits. Thanks for sharing this story.
