girl . When we first adopted her in early december . She was so
friendly . Anymore she has food aggression . When she is eating her
regular food she is ok with me and my husband but not with our
dachound . And just within the last 4 weeks or so now she gets
snippy and growls and has even bitten ... It is really bad when it
comes to her ''good girls '' her biscuits and her pig ears .... And
also she has bitten us when she wakes up and she has some one where
she does not want them . Like to close to her or if she is laying on
our lap and we move while she is sleeping she will snip ...

food and take it away then give back. This takes practice. If
growling happens say no and don't give it back for a few minutes
then try again and give only if no aggression happens. They learn
fast that they only get food for appropriate behavior. My dog
trainer showed me this and it worked for me....Brenda
