    Here's how I would handle this situation.

    Say I gave my Border Collie Molly a treat. If I wanted to go take it, and she growled at my hand as I was reaching, I would sternly say "NO!" and take the treat away and she lose her treat for a while.

    When going to give the treat back, I would make her sit.

    Everytime I give her a treat, (and if she growls) I would repeat this.

    It does sound like your dog is toy/treat possessive. I would do some researching on it. As another member said, the NILIF program is excellent.

    Lou Lou is bone aggressive. Our trainer suggested hanging onto the bone while she chews. Good luck!

    My dog doesn't know any tricks, before he came with me he lived with an old person when she deid no one in the family wanted him so he was taken to a animal shelter. So how do u teach him to sit? -_-;

    well it's simple. You can use treats and say sit and if he doesn't sit just push on his butt gently and when he sits give him a treat. also you don't want to give him treats all the time..when he sits just say "good boy" and pet him. good luck!

    Another way to teach sit is to hold a treat above their nose and slowly move it backwards (away from you) a little bit and say "Sit".
