In nature, animals often use aggressive threats to prevent others from
stealing their possessions. With our pet dogs, however, aggression

owner approaches. She may eat faster with wider gulping motions, growl
or give a “hard stare”. At increasing levels of intensity, she may
snarl, snap, or bite the owner. Dogs may become possessive over things
other than food, such as stolen household items, bones, toys, or sticks. Click here to read the entire article
