I had a Doberman (who was as big as my Dane) who was very much like the dog your talking about.He had a hard life before we adopted him...we were the 6th home he had been in in 7 years... he was extremely protective of me and my kids... but if you brought someone around he didn't know and it was an immediate problem.We had neighbors who were scared to death of him , but the more they came around the better he got and after 6months he became adjusted to them and was fine. My advice would be to try going around the dog a little more at a time and seeing where that gets you...ps. * our neighbors brought our Dobe bones and treats when they came over - and he really liked that of course*
Luckily he spent the remainder of his time on earth here with us until we finally had to put him to sleep, he had tumors everywhere and would cry out in pain when he tried to move.He was 11 years old when I took him - and to this day I don't think I will ever have a better dog then the one no one else wanted. I miss him everyday.
