That is a good question and knowing that might help if it weren't such a big and potentially dangerous dog, but I think that trying to figure and sort out problems with dogs like this breed is just too risky for people who aren't properly trained in dealing with dogs themselves and especially people who have kids as well, because kids are unpredictable themselves and it's just not safe to have them around dangerous breeds of dogs imo.
