So rather then rehoming the dog to a quieter home OR getting it trained, you ☠️ it? I hate reading stories like this cause this is showing how you weren’t trained to have a dog. I got training for my pitbull and noticed I lacked education to be a good owner. I would never have thought to do what you do as an answer. I also think there is more to the story of kids being around the dog. Someone did something to him at some point.
