Girlfriends Dog

I implore the greatest minds on earth, those of this blessed OT Lounge, for guidance.
My girlfriend is prettier than yours (no pics), a true sweet and kind human being whose IQ surpasses that of all of the SEC Rant posters' combined. However, her dog, is a frick head. He jumps on the counters and eats food, he jumps on people and unintentionally harms them (scratches mostly), he growls and snaps when he has his bone and you get near him....
He's been running the show with her for the better part of 6 years until I hit the scene. Now, my expectations for an animal and hers are different. I expect one to obey and not steal food, not touch a plate when you leave the room, etc.
This has caused some friction lately. I feel that some training may be necessary but want to make sure I approach this diplomatically since the dog means so much to my sweetheart. OT, how would you approach a situation where the behavior of a dog needs to be addressed in a way which doesn't disrupt the harmony of the relationship?
Thanks for your insights and infinite wisdom.

Sounds like he needs to “run away” wink wink

Bro sounds like that dog is making you his beta

The dog has to learn it's place and behave. Period.
This may well come down to her having to choose you or the dog.

So how many notches does this dog have on his ham bone? Surely you aren't the first nor will you be the last.

All friction caused between a man and woman stem from not communicating.
Sit down with her, be honest while compassionate, and have an adult conversation.
Two tips:
1) Talk to her like you would want to be talked to
2) don’t drink caffeine for 4 hours prior the conversation (increased heart rate is no bueno because it takes away your patience and tolerance)

Way too much information

Doubt the dog can be trained at this point & doesn’t sound like she’s willing to let it be trained
I’m not sure I would want a lifetime of that

This is why they invented shock collars.

Remote Dog Trainer
It has a beep, vibrate, and shock mode. Tell her you’ll only use the beep and vibrate to train it not to take your food. Shock that fricker exactly 3 times when he’s acting up, and he’ll straighten up his act.

I agree wholeheartedly. Her entire family knows the dog is a problem, but noone has ever addressed it. I am not a big dog person, and me and the dog get along great. I love the dog truly, but he needs to learn boundaries.
The methods that I am accustomed to seeing when disciplining an animal (grab by nape of the neck and tell them NO) are pretty much out of the question. How, then can I approach this? I'm not paying money to hire some fruitcake to come out here and do doggy day care. Well, unless that would work.
