Is there any way to fix this behavior?

I have owned and trained 4 labs all males and my normal protocol is to start when they are young and take their food or bone or treat and slap them at the slightest growl or snap. I continue to do that end even my 9yr old lab every once in a while I check him to make sure he understands I’m still the boss.
I broke him of trying to eat my wife’s chickens by sitting him down next to me and slapping him until I could let the baby chicken sit by him and he wouldn’t touch it he would walk through the hen house and never blink an eye and still fetched ducks.
I would sit him and the daughter down with the toy and establish dominance until the daughter is able to take the toy away and he shows no concern.
