Back to square one - Samson

Samson bit Victor again last night, this was the first time when I was present, but I wasn't looking I was cooking at the stove in the kitchen. Victor was watching the show "Dog's whisperer" from Caser Millan, he then try to show what he can do to the dog in front of his two friends from Connecticut, while the dog was minding his own business in a DOWN position chewing his bone, Victor walked upon him with a pushing hand signal and approach to pet his chin, the dog did not give warning growl and bit Victor at the thumb area.

Immediately I yelled at Samson and confined him in the laundry room with his crate door opened. It's the dog's fault that he bites, however, it is also Victor's fault that he did not give Samson the space. That's what I said to him afterward:

"You have 2 friends over for dinner at the house, instead of talking to your friends, have a glass of wine, enjoy a TV show together; you had to brag about how you tamed the dog, I wasn't there watching but I was listening as I was cooking, for over 20 minutes you were bugging the dog with sort of your 'tame the animal energy' and try to imitate what Caser Millan did to the dogs, but let's not forget Caser went to help dog owners who own the dog for years, this dog has been here for 6 weeks only!!! "

This is the third time it happened, last time when I was playing golf with friends, Samson bit Victor when I was not home, I could not discipline Samson after so many hours, I have to do it right at that second after it happens.

I have a thought in my mind to bring Samson back to the shelter, but again I still think he can be trained, and we bonded. The problem is I can't train Victor.

Samson has to go back to square one as far as training is concerned, he has to understand who is in charge in this household, the next page is a list would be implemented momentarily:
