Aggressive dogs and children do not mix. If your dog is acting aggressive then there are a couple of ways to handle the problem.
The first option would be to get rid of your dog (not recommended). While this is not the option most people choose it is something some people do.
If you do decide that the only way you can handle your aggressive dog is by getting rid of him then make sure he lands in a nice, safe home. You should never just let your dog go out the door. It is true that dogs are from wild animals but we have pretty well breed that out of them so it would be very unsafe for a dog alone out in the wild.
An even better option would be to train your dog or have a dog trainer train him. There are a variety of different dog training classes you can take you dog to or you can train him in your own home.
One type of dog training is clicker training. If clicker dog training is done correctly you will see a major improvement in your dog’s behavior. The beauty of clicker training your dog is that after a while of using the clicker you will have a dog that listens to your commands without the need of using the clicker or dog treats.
When you are doing clicker dog training timing is everything. If you do not get this right then you will be basically wasting your time and effort.
When your dog follows your command you need to immediately click your clicker and administer a treat to your dog. If you click to late your dog will only know that you are being very nice and giving him lots of treats.
You also should keep the clicker tucked in your hand so your dog can not see it. Another thing you can do is click using your tongue when your dog has gotten accustomed to the sound of clicking.
No matter how you plan on training your dog you should always use positive training methods. Using negative methods to train your dog will not only hurt your dog but he will get steadily worse behaved as time goes on.
