Hello everyone, I am brand new to the forum so I apologize if maybe I didn't find my answers throughout the forum. I have a 6 month old female black lab. She seems tyo be more on the dominant side, but she seems to be getting a little better in some areas than others. The problems we are struggling with currently might be on the aggression side of things. When we start playing with regardless of the toy, she will fetch and as she is bringing it back she growls and barks which doesn't bother me as much as when we finally get the toy from her mouth, she bites us. It's even getting to the point where she will jump at us nipping and barking. In addition we've noticed she gets very guarded and angry if we've given her a bone of sorts and we nicely try to move her back to a blanket. Could be she will grow out of these things but it seems it's getting more constant. Hoping someone might have some friendly advice. Thank you! Kody
