Avery is NOT food aggressive. You may think I am crazy because that sort of contradicts my title. However, he has these Nylabone Healthy Edibles that he ADORES! He was eating this on my couch and I wanted to throw it down on the floor for him to eat it there, when I went in to get it he growled at me. This wasn't the typical "play" growl when we take his toys and play. What are your suggestions for fixing this problem?
Also, when we go to a friends house, he and her dog bicker over the raw-hide and he becomes protective over it. We definitely DO NOT do rawhide because I've read too many bad things about it, plus the vet said it isn't good for teeth. Anyways, it's almost like he's protective over this Nylabone HE. He doesn't get them often because a pack of 8 is slightly expensive, so maybe this has something to do with it.
