you should only put your dog down if you feel you can no longer take care of him/her. the only other reason is if your beloved pet is in a lot of pain i.e.. he/she can no longer walk across the room. (it is your decision but if treatment coasts over $8,000 it might be better to put him or her down)

That is a personal choice for you to make, but my advice would be that if the dog is too sick to be able to enjoy its life, then it would an act of kindness to end its suffering by putting it down.

If a person cant control a dog being aggressive should he put the dog down or try to work with it?

Definitely don't put him down. If the dog's owner can't handle him, he should take him to a local dog rescue group or the humane society. They have trainers there who know how to work with aggressive dogs, and they'll be the best ones to decide what to do with him. Sometimes (especially if the dog is young) they can be turned around with the right training and will be excellent pets in the future. So at the very least give the dog to someone who is a professional handler to see if they can make a difference before choosing to put him down.

A guard dog may or may not be put down if it attacked someone. It depends on the situation. Without knowing more details it is impossible to make a decision. If the guard dog attacked a burglar it would not be put down. If the guard dog attacked a pedestrian walking by who posed absolutely no danger, the dog would probably be put down. The context and situation determines the outcome.
