My theory that I told my wife earlier is that he thinks we’re his owners and the kids are other pets he has to deal with.
I have touched 200+ over the years and your theory is 100% spot on, find an obedience trainer and let him work his magic. Two months should be enough time to get it done. When he comes back your girls should be able to walk him at heel, call and sit on their own. You should be teaching NO from day one, start now and be consistent, don’t Nag, enforce the rules immediately.

Well I paid $900 for a bulldog that took a ride to the train station after blighting four people and at least six other dogs. She was a liability and there was sadly no other option.

Trained one that bit owners son twice, kid was a pia though. He called me the first time to come get the dog before animal control so he could hunt him the next morning?? As far as I know, the dog never bit anyone else.

Good!
Your dog is not a bad dog. At 7mo. he is feeling his oats and establishing his position in your household. This is not ideal but is normal. You did right in smacking him if you caught the questionable behavior immediately.
Explain to your daughter that he is young and has much to learn. Tell her you need her help to train him. Let her feed him while youy supervise - she can teach him to sit, stay, lay, heel while she feeds him. Tell her to respect his space when he eats or chews. At her age she should not be playing any competitive games with him yet. No pull toys or roughhousing.
You need to exercise dominance while playing with him in her presence. Make him sit, lay down and then roll on his back. Make him submit while you lay down on him. A dog that submits when you cover him recognizes you as alpha. I do this with my pups when they are very young until they are at least two years old. They know the routine.
Give this dog more time and training. He will likely become a great dog!

Thanks! Seems like really solid advice. We’ve been really busy lately with selling/buying a house so the guy hasn’t gotten the attention he really needs lately. I’m certain he’s a good dog but he going to require more than we’re giving him at the moment. He really is a sweet boy we just need to break his bad habits

Is there any way to fix this behavior
Train the puppy better. But sounds like most shitty dog owners, you bit off more than you can chew and instead of fixing the issue, you want to get rid of it.
Resource guarding is a very common dog issue and there’s plenty of ways to train him out of it. A simple google search would have told you this.

this is what you do, beat his arse until it stops being aggressive so he has no inkling to be aggressive any more
There are some serious psychopaths on this board. Beating an aggressive dog does not alter their behavior in a positive way.

If you want to try and keep the pup have your daughter/ wife plus whoever else is in the house start feeding him. Obviously with your daughter you will have to be present and monitoring the behavior but that is one way to cure it for your family however if he is showing this aggressive behavior it’s risky to have him around non family members

I didn’t call you a pussy. I called you an idiot for sending her back anywhere near the dog. Are you really a moron? Probably not. But you acted like one.
Your kid cried about the dog and you turned her back
To the dog. You reinforced scared into your daughter and nervousness into your dog. Total frick up. Is what is it is. But don’t pretend to know what you’re doing.

In the grand scheme of things I really don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve had dogs my whole life, real best friends. But this is the first time introducing a new dog to my children.
At the time I felt like I was doing the right thing. She said he growled and I wanted her to reenact it to make sure she wasn’t the one provoking him. Turns out he was just possessive over his toy and she really didn’t do anything wrong.
So now I’m figuring out that I’m going to have to really work with the dog. He is intelligent and the times I have worked with him he’s picked things up semi quick.
He hasn’t gotten much attention lately due to us being very busy.
When I made this post I had a lot of emotions going through my head and didn’t really know what to do.
Now that I’ve calmed down I do think he deserves another chance and I’ll make a real effort to spend more time with him and work with him more.
I haven’t given up on the dog but it’s one of those things that when it comes to your kids, you might make some irrational decisions

What town do you live in. I can probably direct you to a trainer for group classes.
Posted on 8/6/23 at 8:54 pm to CrawfishElvis
You are just as ignorant for asking as the replies you are getting. Obvious you and these repliers don't know shat about training dogs. You both should get professional help.
Posted on 8/6/23 at 9:29 pm to CrawfishElvis
You are the alpha of the pack. Assert your dominance and that dog will end up protecting that little girl.

Jesus...no wonder you can't train a dog.
The dog is just waiting for you to go in season like the bitch you are.

What joe nelson said. Have daughter feed the dog and get him used to her being a dominant figure.
If youbare going to hunt w him get on a training pgm pronto, i use waterdog and supplement w videos for some advanced drills.
I have had 4 male labs and they have all tried to be dominant at some pt, sometimes u have to pick them up by their ears, stare them in their eyes, it takes all the starch out of them and they are happy to let u be the pack leader.
There are some lemons out there, if he wont come around time to rehome him.
