Chinese Shar-pei are guardians by nature. It was their job to be predator control, body guards, baby sitters and hunters. It's easy to see why you are having this problem. In order for this breed to be social, it takes alot of socializing at the early stages. They need to meet new people ever day, walks in the park, visits to Petsmart, lots of company in and out of the house. Also it take correction in the beginning when they growl or show any agression towards strangers. Again this must all be done at the early stages. Lastly, and very importantly, you MUST take control of him, if he is not neutered do it ASAP, that will help alot. I would also begin doing obedience with him at home, teach him to SIT and STAY, DOWN and STAY then HEEL and SIT, etc. It puts you in control, then try his commands outside, if need be use a prong collar on him until he respects you. This is s dog that is dangereous obviously and you are lucky that you did not get sued.

You should seek some professional help taking control of this dog. He is way out of hand and at 2 years old you will most likely not be able to change him by yourself. I would also be scared to let any children around him anywhere until things change with his attitude. A dog this unstable can turn so fast the child could be very hurt before you could stop him. You need to see that he is not being protective but very aggressive and that makes him VERY DANGEROUS.
