Honestly, I would try to get him out. This is likely his ONE bite. Anything else from him, they could take him and put him down. He is getting blamed for a bite and I don't think he bit her.

I can't believe your vet or trainer has not said to neuter him?? I worked for a Vet for many years, and it WILL reduce his aggression, he does need training, I suggest a behaviorist, as well as an obedience trainer, but he also needs neutered! Intact males have one thing on the mind and a lot of testosterone, with that comes aggression. If anyone says otherwise they are probably a man and don't believe in doing it. I have seen it greatly mellow out some dogs. Not to mention you will eliminate the possibility of prostate cancer when he's older. There is absolutely no reason for any dog to not be spayed or neutered unless you are breeding them, and too many people are breeding dogs without the proper tempermant which has brought us all to these many fearful mastiffs. Shyness is genetic. Im just saying, neutering him is a must, it's not a quick fix but there is no reason not too. Do the research for yourself, I believe it will help and you don't have anything to loose.
Yes, I'm sure you know more than your Vet too.

I didn't say all intact males are aggressive nor did I say anything about the age which to neuter them. I said it eliminates testosterone, and if you have an aggressive intact male, you may want to eliminate his testosterone. Im sure you will find that in studies as well. I also don't think health disorders are a very high concern for someone that has an intact male being aggressive. Him biting someone and having to be put him to sleep pretty much eliminates that possibility. Just sayin
