Dog and food aggression

Beat the shite out of him, have to put him in his place, he thinks y'all equals right now.

Put the food down and imnediately drop down and put your face by the food and start growling. If he moves any closer try and bite a chink off his ear or nose.

He's challenging you. And every day you let him win.

Stop letting him win.

Don't argue with it.
Don't reason with it.
Dominate it.

Next feeding use a different bowl and sit on the floor with the bowl between your legs.when he comes to eat make him lay down and place some food out the bowl into your hand and feed him.
If he growls then don't give him the food until he calms down.( this part may take awhile and a lot of patience ) if he doesn't growl then allow him to eat from the bowl while your hands are on the bowl.
After a few seconds remove the bowl from him,if he growls at you then tell him no and restart all over. there is really no need to yell or hit the dog because he is fixed on his food and not you,what you want is for the dog to submit.
It is not a easy fix so be patient it will take time.
And as for your baby you will have to feed the dog in another room because in most cases babies aren't seen as being dominate to dogs.
Good Luck.

Dominance.

When mine was doing that, I stood over the bowl and everytime he started growling, I'd growl or fuss him. If he kept going, he got a good whip on the arse with a stick.

Dogs are pack animals, and WILL try to establish dominance if they feel they can. You have to be the alpha male and make it clear that you are allowing him to eat that food, YOUR food.

someone should whip you on the arse with a stick, you are clueless and should not own dog's

Thanks for the advice. The past few days when he starts grawling I make noise and spray him with a water bottle until he backs down. I then send him to his bed for a few minutes. I'm hoping this works.

Do alpha wolves talk it out with others in the pack?

When my dogs were young, I would pour their food in the bowl and sit next to them. Tug on their tail, tug on their ears, pushed their face out of the way with my hand and even my own face, and generally "aggravate" them while they eat. First sign of aggresion to me was met with swift correction. Did this with every dog I've ever owned. Was always afraid of one of my kids would get bit because they played with the dog while they ate.

Now, my current dog doesn't even flinch when either of my kids, or anyone for that matter, bothers her while she is eating, even her treats.

They have to know whats acceptable behavior.

The only way you're going to put this dog in his place is by putting him down. Nature vs nurture, nature always wins.
