    Well, I meet with the family again tonight. I am honestly afraid that they might have to rehome her. I told them for homework last week to write down EVERY incident, no matter how small. Write down what they were wearing, what time of day, what activities were going on, etc. If we can find one unifying thing we might be able to save her by removing whatever that is. For example, my mom's terrier ALWAYS attacked when she saw young men wearing chains on their belt. We always made them remove their belts before entering the house. Voila, no problems. I hope the answer can be this simple for the dog in question.

    Writing it down is a good idea. It also puts in writing for them to see how much the problem really is..
    I am concerned- passive aggression ( beta or alpha) with small children could have devestating results. Also remember- as a trainer- you open yourself for liability as well if something happens in some states. ...
