I have always had hounds since 1987 and still do. But I have a 1.5 year old German Shepherd that loves me and no other human being. Her bark at others that have visited, sounds like the attack mode. She has nibbled at friends ankles, feet, and a hard pinch on someone's ass. I am lookin for any kind of information, anywhere and I am reading about dogs that are a "single person" dog.
THAT is what you call an "off topic" post LOL
Hire a dog trainer.
In Colorado, the women’s penitentiary takes in dogs for 30 days and assigns the animal to an inmate for training. At the end you get a well-trained good dog. Kinda expensive though.
Step 1: put your dog on a diet, meaning only enough food to be at best slightly hungry. Two meals a day only.
Step 2: when people come over, have them give your dog some sort of a dog treat or two.

incidentally, the main reason dogs become one family dogs, or whatever you wanna call it is because they don’t get a lot of social interaction in the early weeks of their life. Like weeks 6-8 or so.
Sounds like you’re gonna have to put it down. Bullet in the head. Have you reached out to the Department of Homeland Security?
You’re going to need a dog trainer. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. And you don’t want that.
Thank you for all the replies. A few matched what other dog friends said outside of this forum. Thanks for the input.
Ok, I can only come to the conclusion that this isn't really about your dog.
You too have a feral teenage daughter that you simply can't handle, since her mother took off with the carnival on the southern tour schedule.
Luckily, there is a lot of cross over in how to handle them (both). Listen to those above, well except the home land security idea, I don't think you are there quite yet.
If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.
@zeke4ahs A quality muzzle is a serious solution in terms of liability.
My sister’s gashed a neighbor’s hand on a walk. His response, “Well that ruined my day.” She paid his medical bills. She was fortunate he had a dog that had likewise bitten someone and wasn’t the suing type.
She put a muzzle on him on walks for about ten years after that. Now he’s 15, decided he’s retired and loves everyone and everything.

That's the weird thing about her. On walks any neighbors that are outside will walk out to meet her. She will go to the sit position on my command and will let them pet her. The condition I described was last week when a friend came over to dog sit while I had an over night hospital stay.
@mohoosier don't ask, but that dog will forever salivate over peanut butter tacos!
Well. A stranger (to the dog) in your house when you're not there. Kinda what German Shepherds were bred into over the last 100 years or so.@zeke4ahs A quality muzzle is a serious solution in terms of liability.
