| Get that bone I can't offer any advice to you because I didn't have this problem. Mine would growl at each other (still do) never at me. However i can tell you that the growling is unacceptable and by showing fear by backing away you are confirming in her mind that not only is growling at you ok but its effective in helping her keep what she doesn't want you to have. (the bone) I would think that this could lead to other problems down the road if not taken care of. I hope someone with experience in that area picks up this thread. They could certainly offer more advice. My suggestion would be to start a new thread. Maybe put, "growling when trying to take away marrow bone..." as the subject/topic for that thread. Hope that helps out a little. :)
