Biting

We have a 3 year old male JRT and two daughters - 14 and 17 years old. Our JRT is loveable and cuddly most of the time, but he has bitten our daughters on four occasions over the past two years. After the second incident last summer, we had him neutered. Then, in November he bit our 17 year old again. We thought that might have been a fluke, but then yesterday, he bit our 14 year old.

I love this dog dearly and the thought of giving him away or having him put down tears me apart, but this can't continue. Every time one of the girls has been bitten, it's been in the face. They've been warned repeatedly not to "get in his face", but his reactions seem to come without warning. He's never been aggressive to me or my wife, so I'm pretty sure it's a dominance problem.
