Ok, I'm planning on getting another dog and do NOT want this to escalate any farther with my girl.
She got a rough yank to the scruff and a loud
'NO!' today when we went for play time with her mastiff friends. I always bring cookies... Sophie started growling and snapping when I gave the big girls some cookies. Sophie won't even eat these things but had a FIT knowing someone else was getting something she wasn't. She did submit when I scolded, at least she does know who's boss.
She wasn't like this with her litter-mates, doesn't snap at the cats (although she will take treats if they aren't fast enough) but she has not had any food competition since leaving her litter.
Will I have to separate her from food and friends? Will just making a separate place for 2 dogs to eat be enough? I'd rather not have to worry about her getting her head bit off... Suggestions please, I want to fix this...
