My Beagle growls at me when he gets up on the SETTEE. What can I do?
Full Question:
We have a lovely 7 month old Beagle who is a great dog who loves other people and dogs and will willingly shares her toys and food. She is not allowed on the bed or settee but when she does get on there and we go to lift her off she growls quite badly her tail is underneath her and she has snapped. The only other time she does this is when she has something she shouldn't have i.e. a sweet wrapper, lolly stick or sock etc. We do have a young child and are not used to this sort of behavior (our previous dog was very placid) we are very worried and concerned and need some expert advise as to handle this problem. 
Ed's Answer:
First I have to ask what a "SETTEE" is? Is it one of those women things that rich people have in their bathrooms?
Well there are a couple of solutions to this problem. You could hire a dog behaviorist and spend a few hundred dollars - or you could pick the dog up and bounce it off the wall behind the SETTEE when it growls at you. I will guarantee you that one trip off the wall will cure the problem.
I have written an article on Dealing with the Dominant Dog on my website. Obviously you have not found it. Go there and read what else you have to do.
