Aggressive 14 week old Lab

by Wendy
(Alabama)

We have a 14 almost 15 week old lab puppy. She can be very sweet but also very aggressive. She has gotten really bad with food aggression. We can give her treats and bones fine. We can play with her and take her toys. But when you are trying to get her food out she is trying to get in the pantry to get other food and growls and tries to snap at you. Also, she will be looking at you one minute and you are petting her then suddenly she is growling and attacking you. this is our 1st lab to raise from a puppy and we have tried positive reinforcement, we have tried dominating her and nothing seems to get her to stop. While we aren't home she is in a crate, but if we are home she is out. We walk her and play fetch outside with her.

Employ the "Nothing In Life Is Free" approach, so that your dog starts to view you as the "pack leader." If your dog doesn't see you as the leader, then your corrections will be meaningless. So, if you're doing subtle things (inadvertently) to undermine your leadership role around the house-- it will be counter-productive.
