I parents dog was a shelter dog and was checked out well before they got her. No problems with food agresstion at all. you could walk up and take her bowl away with out problems. They have had her now a little over three months. Today I took her for her morening walk, she has a harness that we put on her, anyways. After her walk she goes right for the back door we go outside and take off the harness and we have done this everyday for the last three months, well today as I was trying to pull the harness over her head she growled and tryed to bite my hand but I pulled back on her to stop her. I pulled her away from the food and tryed it again samething finally after poping her in the bum I could take it off her. I thought this was weird so as she ate I walked over and pet her, I have done this before as well and and she stared growling and snaped at me one more time before I gave up and left her alone. I dont know what to do. I am getting a two month old puppie soon and I don't think I can if Sammi is aking like this is she is a young dog about three whats wrong with her? Could other animals like cats or coons get in her food and make her like this? or maybe she is getting sick? thanks Kyra
