		<description>Your dog has a superiority complex.  Your dog feels he is the leader and the leader makes the rules.  You need to show him that you are the leader.  There are a few things you can do such as, gesture eating, but there are too many things to list here. 
For more information contact me at: thepetproject@zoomshare.com
I will be happy to give you a list of the things you need to do to stop this behaviour.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Professional Pet Groomer and Trainer/ Breeder of Border Collies</description>

		<description>Dogs growl for a number of reasons.  If someone is coming near him when he has a toy or piece of food, he&#039;s warning them away and letting everyone know that it is his.  He needs to know that you are the &#039;alpha&#039; and that you can and will take things when needed.  Having said that, you shouldn&#039;t be taking things away from him that he should be allowed to have.  In his crate, that is his territory, why are you taking things away from him.  
I would put his toys away and only give them when it&#039;s ok.  If he becomes aggressive when people walk by, I would firmly said, &quot;no&quot; and take the toy and put it away.  Once he starts to understand that you mean business he should be ok.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Some of these small breeds can be a little psycho.  Keep some favorite treats close.  When the dog feels threatened or gets aggressive, use the treats and be playful and see if you can change the mood.  Like I said some of these small breeds really do seem to have mental issues, so it may only work short term.  Good Luck.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
