This behavior is called resource guarding, and while undesirable, it is a normal behavior for a dog.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-you-take-a-bone-away-from-a-dog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_take_a_bone_away_from_a_dog\"><\/span>Should you take a bone away from a dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Any bone can cause a choking hazard when chewed into small pieces. So, you should always supervise your dog while they\u2019re chewing a bone and take away it away once it\u2019s worn down to a size smaller than their mouth. Finally, it\u2019s best to give your dog a bone or chew after they\u2019ve already eaten.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N0x3asy0MYg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-do-if-your-dog-growls-at-you-while\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_if_your_dog_growls_at_you_while_eating\"><\/span>What to do if your dog growls at you while eating?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to Stop Your Dog\u2019s Food Aggression<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Stage One: Get your dog used to your presence when eating.<\/li>\n<li>Stage Two: Add a tasty treat, then step back.<\/li>\n<li>Stage Three: Stand close, and talk to your dog.<\/li>\n<li>Stage Four: Try hand feeding.<\/li>\n<li>Stage Five: Touch their bowl, but do not take food from it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: 28px; font-weight: bold;\">Why do dogs Resource guard their owners?<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Resource guarding refers to any behavior that a dog displays to convince others to stay away from something he considers valuable.\u00a0 A dog with a pig\u2019s ear, for example, may turn his body to shield his precious treasure from anyone approaching, or he may pick it up and carry it to another room.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-does-it-mean-when-a-dog-growls-and-shows\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_it_mean_when_a_dog_growls_and_shows_teeth\"><\/span>What does it mean when a dog growls and shows teeth?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cause: Dog feels intimidated, stressed, confused or threatened.

Dogs who get anxious, growl, or even snap at other animals are showing \u201cpossessive aggression,\u201d and it\u2019s important to intervene.

In this, your dog is also wanting to interact with you. Your dog may also bring his bone to you so you will spend time with him and play.
