We just adopted a 4 month old chocolate lab from a rescue. She was found on the side of the road. She is the most loving dog and listens really well. But she has been aggresive when you get to close while shes eating here food and when we give her a pigs ear or greenie. Ill go to try and take it from her and she grwols and will nip at me. Ive seen on TV that this is a test they do to determine if it can even be put up for adoption. Im hoping since she is so young we can try to get rid of this. If anyone knows any tricks or techniques please share. Thanks.
