Your guy is obviously just dominant...the food thing can be fixed in moments...I adopted a dog that growled and snapped...and I learned to not leave food down...I would give her the food...also she wouldn't get to eat until I said she could and I would put my hand in her food and hand her the first several bits...so she learned real quickly that I was Alpha....you just need to take control...not get upset....but stay calm...I would reccomend you take him for walks....that is the best way to teach a dog that your the Pack leader...make him walk beside you at all times.....
Also get a can and put some coins in it...shake it each time he's being naughty...that will stop him...and soon he'll learn what is ok and what is not allowed!!
Try watching The dog whisperer...he's awesome!!!
Please don't give up...just take control...and you'll probably end up with the best dog ever!!!!! Good luck! |
