re: Dog just snapped at daughter

I’ll say this, I started training my lab from day one, sit, stay, heel…etc….also, took it all over the place and exposed it to as many environments as possible. I definitely think that training helps establish who the alpha is…the only time my lab got upset was at a cable man that came in the back yard to work in the cable one time….and it growled and showed it’s teeth…never snapped or anything…but I didn’t have kids or anything at the time either….but I will say that kids need to be taught as well as the dog…I don’t know that snapping at a kid warrants putting the dog down but I would definitely address the resource guarding….that can turn into a big problem if not dealt with….I would continue to work on it with your dog and daughter….labs are incredibly smart dogs and it should learn fairly quick.
