Treading on “beyond the scope of internet randos”, imo. Medical: I hope you’re getting your kiddo properly cared for after these bites. Infection care. Stitches. Whatever. (Not a doctor, talk to a real one) Legal: varies by location (varies by state if in the US), bites may be reported and the decision may eventually be taken out of your hands. Many have a “one bite” rule where the owner gets one freebie and then any bite after that, they’re liable because they knew their dog was a biter and yet continued to put others at risk. (not a lawyer, do your own research). Practical: keep your kid and dog separated. Period. Professional advice: this is where online advice really falls flat bc we’re not experts (even if one claims to be , we could be lying) and we don’t get know your specific dog. Talk to a vet, or ask them for recommendation to a good trainer. Get better training for the dog to where it doesn’t bite kids or decide with professional support that the dog would be better off re-homed. (Not a vet or dog trainer, talk to real ones) What you can’t do is march along without changing anything, knowing your dog will continue to bite your kid.
