I have a foster with aggression issues and he has come a long way in my home .. I only use positive reiforcement. If they cannot respond to that, my guess is they might be dogs that probably won't get better. Flipping a dog on its back, trying to snatch its food...cornering it .. is never, EVER going to do anything but make the dog know that the "trainer" is an enemy to be feared.
Sadly, some dogs must be euthanized, for their good and the good of people they might seriously injure or kill.
Just my two cents.
