Another Dog Question - Bad Behaviour

Ashleyallsmiles

So, my husband and I have a German Shepherd/Husky, he's 3years old, and is very loyal and obedient (completed obedience training). He's a wonderful dog to me and my husband, lot's of snuggles and playtime, we adore him. But he has a huge attitude problem!

When we have people over he loses his mind, just barks and barks and sadly has bitten a few of my friends We have to put him in his kennel when we have guests. We called in a behaviour modification specialist to give us advise, but he is so set in his ways it has only improved on a small scale.

Here's the big problem, he barks at the TV when baby commercials are on, or if I watch any shows with babies crying or laughing. He barks viciously at the little kids who walk down our street. He absolutely can't be trusted around babies .... and know we have to make the hardest decision of our life and get rid of our dog before the baby comes

I doubt anyone is going to adopt him, since he's such a mean dog to any strangers, and bites, and hates little kids. We are so torn on what to do, but for the safety of our new born coming, we have to make this very hard decision. 

Can anyone relate? In the same situation? Any advise?
