At 6 months she absolutley needs to learn that snapping is unacceptable. You need to clearly let her know you are not happy with that kind of behavior. She's testing you. When Sophie was younger she would get possessive of some things. She has never snapped at us but would give a low growl. We would take immediate action by telling her no growl, hold her firmly in place while keeping our voice low and serious and take away the item of issue. She caught on quickly. Now she is 16 months and has a lighter, playful growl when playing tug or with one of her toys and that's fine. She is very gentle with our hands and such. You might check out the YT Training Forum for more suggestions.
