Hi all,
Our 2 year old lab has started growling at us if we walk near him or touch him when he's eating from his bowl. We've tried the food guarding/aggression steps of tossing him a treat when nearing the bowl etc, but he just gets over excited about the treats and then goes back to his food, as soon as there are no treats he growls.
This has also progressed to him growling when we gave him a stuffed bone to chew on. He would sit at my feet to eat it, but if my husband walks near him he growls, or if we try and touch him he tenses up and growls.
Tried all the tips I can find online but nothing seems to be helping!
Thanks!
