Talk to a trainer and use that as your backup, then talk to you dad.
Take your dad with you to the trainer on the second visit (or even the first visit)
Kennel the dog, if needed and explain to your dad why (the dog needs discipline, parameters, etc.)
Dependent on the trainers recommendations, you may need to learn how to properly use a shock collar and have your dad learn too - With this, there is consistent reinforcement from all members of the family, which kind of sounds where one of your struggles might be.
There's a whole host of things you can probably do for your dogs benefit [You must be logged in to view images.
