It happens... thankfully in most cases it's not from an aggressive dog but rather their response to something going on.
Didn't Lars just have surgery a bit ago? Perhaps not back up to snuff. I haven't read the entire thread.. have you had him since a pup so that you know his history? Ultimately the best you can do is be proactive (ie talking with a trainer as you've mentioned).
I have a small dog (20 lb Shih Tzu named Chloe). She's never really been around children. We're having to slowly and cautiously get her and my granddaughter acquainted. Lila wants to just love her to death and Chloe is a bit scared of it all so she growls and barks when she's near. It will take us some time so that she knows that she's not the dominant over Lila.
Good luck with Lars.. I'm sure it will all work out fine.
