I am wondering if anybody who has experience, knows whether this can be resolved or whether "if a dogs bitten once, it will bite again"?

Thanks x
how much of a bite are we talking? A 'ill put my teeth around your arm and not chew bite' or a 'ill walk up to you a draw blood for no reason bite' ?

If its the first dont worry about it, if its the second, it needs to be put down. Simple as im affraid ;(
A muzzel would be probably good thing to invest in, and asserting your dominance - either standing up if sat and walk towards them slowly making them back up ... eventually to walk away. Ive only ever done this when ive been grizzled at though, not bitten
