I am so sorry you've had to go through with this. I really hope you can work with Jasper. If you can't, people will be here to support your choice of putting him to sleep. Before you put him down though, please get him checked by a vet, he may have a medical issue!. If your up to it, work with him, it may help and you may be able to trust him again. I don't know though as he's your dog. I actually own a fearful dog who will bite and sadly has bitten, I now don't trust her around strangers at all, especially children. I am lucky enough she loves me (I trust her %100 with me and even I know she could nip me if I did the wrong thing) I know she's fine with my family, friends but I know if they do the wrong thing, she could nip/bite. It is sad I stress about her and I can't trust her around my niece/nephew because I do believe she'd have a go at them, depending on the situation. So, what I'm saying is you may always hold that fear of not trusting your dog %100 and that's a bad thing to deal with when your dog has to live around kids. My girl only ever gets my attention unless there's a real good reason for anyone else needing to handle her. I get so upset some days but I don't have the heart to let her go.. She now has to learn to love my new bf, even letting her meet him, I was worried she'd go for him BUT in saying that, I have seen her go through some awesome progress and I'm proud of her. I am learning about her more so I know how to handle her and so forth. My girl is way worse off then your boy and that's why I highly believe he has a shot at this problem being worked out.
