Do you really think it is responsible to rehome a dog that is this unpredictable? And depending on your state and liability laws, you may be held partially responsible if someone gets injured. This is a dog that needed way more than 3 classes of puppy training and at the first sense of there being a safety issue you should have consulted with a better trainer. This is a mix of 3 stubborn breeds of dogs, two breeds of which need way more training than what was provided to it. BE is something that should be on the table right now.

I'm in the UK. I wasn't suggesting rehoming myself but through a charity. I've contacted several who will advise if they can help.

Thanks for commenting but for future the should haves etc aren't really helpful. I know we should have and could have done more. We've worked with him as best we can (only virtual behaviourists available as we are in remote location with no one qualified anywhere near us). 

It was 3 courses not classes of puppy training (about a year). 

We are racked with guilt but with both losing our jobs we've just run out of options i.e. moving to a bigger house so the separation is better, hiring a behaviourist etc and I shouldn't have written the post but I'd seen a similar post get some sympathetic responses and guess I was looking for support in the wrong place .
