When my pups growl at me for trying to take their food or treats. I verbally reassure them after I say a low toned "no" or 2 and take the food.....tell them they are good and return the food....then take it again...and return it....they soon learn that I am the big guns there. Ialso move their food around in their dish while they are eating....I want them to learn not to snap at anyone.

They get it pretty fast. Lots of praise with this...and I agree if it is something that I can not give back a small treat in place helps.

They have to learn for their own good to release food....it might be something dangerous to them some day
