Today my best friend's daughter had her hand on Snow's head and I think she was pushing it to get her to eat. I told her not to do that but as she did Snow sorta growled at her :/ Then Snow had a chew treat and Hannah just wanted to pet her and she barked really loud at her for it. How do I correct this? Should I not since I know a growl is a warning and should never be corrected... She isn't like this with adults. I can take anything out of her mouth and she doesn't growl or anything.

In all honesty I was taught as a child to never touch a dog while they're eating or have something in their mouth...

Kids are unstable and jerky as well as just don't pay a whole hell of a lot of attention to what they're doing. Asking a young puppy to exercise self control and tolerance to such a thing is an awful lot... I would either not have bones/toys/food out when kids are around or not have them interact with snow.

The only thing I have found that Balon is possessive of is those dental chews (kinda like rawhide), not to humans, just against Ruby the lab lol. I can take it from him, but if Ruby walks by he gets super nasty lol.

well from personal exp having 6 kids here, I had to train axel, but the KIDS too, they know when any dog is eating, leave them alone, but axel and roxy know now that they are bigger the kids are smaller, like puppies, and must be nice.

We have dealt with horrible resource guarding with Delilah. That being said, she will not guard with me or the hubby, she will still guard with Cato.

I wouldn't let the kids be near Snow when eating. I learned a very valuable lesson from this forum when I was dealing with resource guarding - If you give it to her, you let her finish it. It's a gift and it shouldn't be taken away. I think that every time I give the dogs something.
