I was in college so I didn't know what happen. 15 minutes into class my girlfriend calls me, crying!, that the dog bit her and is growling at her as we speak. She goes silent and lets me hear the dog growling. I asked what happened for him to be like that (since the dog is very skiddish and fearful).

She told me nothing happened, she was in the couch with Snoopy on his bed right next to her, she picks up a toy so they would play and the dog just snaps her and keep barking at her until she goes away. She eventually leaves the dog alone, crying and calls me.

Since I couldn't leave class to comfort her, I had to wait until it was over to go see her. I found out that her grandmother scolded her that those were the dogs toys and that they can not(!) be touched.

Since my girlfriend is now afraid of the dog, I told her we could address the situation together when we can. She said no, that she wasn't ready and that the dog might snap at her again. So, what can we do?
