This is a dog that now controls its owner, the household, and that decides who can come to visit. This is a dog that every day subjects his owner to a lawsuit and lifelong regret for injury to a child or friend. When the dog decides the owner's overstepped the line on a correction, there is a likelihood of handler aggression, the road of no return.
However this dog may have started his life, he is not now a "good dog." He is a liability.
