Now i don't feel so bad that Cody growled at me when I gave him his very first ever bully stick. I assume he never had any chew treat with his prev, owner and this was his first chew treat since I have him (14 months). Of course I let him have it, FIRM voice no growl at the momma, I figured I didn't raise him from a baby, who knows what the prev. owner did when he ate. He felt I was going to take the chew away from him, he growled every time I pet him while he was chewing. You raised Teddy from a baby, he felt threatened and growled. All my girls I raised from 8 weeks old, I could and DID take tings out of their mouths, never a growl.
