Did you train this vicious dog from the time he was a pup? I know you had stated that he was bred from a dog with a bad temperment and so it was 'in the blood'...but inherited temperment only goes so far....that sort of behavior and the running away instead of coming when called can be addressed and managed by using positive training methods that would probably give you much better results than the ones you are dealing with right now. If you could stop being so defensive about the way you have been doing this and perhaps find a trainer that would not suggest using the antiquated methods you have been attempting thus far, you may be pleasantly rewarded with an animal that would not be a hazard to visitors and actually come when called.
