So, on Thanksgiving my boyfriend gave my little bella a leg bone. She gets really aggressive and starts to growl and gets all tensed up when someone gets near her. She also tried snapping at me when I got close. This wasn't the only time she's done it. Another time was when I gave her a rawhide stick. She gets so mean that I'm scared to get near her. What can I do to change this behavior??

I'm also having a hard time training her to "come"...usually she'll just take off running if she's off the leash. She'll sit when I tell her too (if i have a treat for her) but she doesn't really do it if there's no treat. Any suggestions??
