Cheryl, I am so sorry you are having this problem! This happened at our house many years ago, we had a little Keeshond mix that just could not get along with my greyhound, he tore her up a couple if times, and also was a primary resource guarder. I was the resource and when he bit my husband as he was kissing me goodbye for the day, we knew we had to do something quick! We had been trying training techniques, but clearly we needed more help than that. We, upon the advice of out vet, began to give a "doggie Prozac " med called Clomicalm. It worked wonders, he became a very calm and model citizen until he passed away. I wasn't crazy about the idea of using meds, but it ended up being a great solution. We found out later, that there had been domestic violence in his first home, which sure explained a lot! Good luck and hope you find a solution!
