What you're going to teach her is that if she's eating peacefully there is a possibility that someone may come and try to take her food.

I think you're confusing aggression with posession. The dog was not being aggressive, the dog was guarding a valued treat that the dog should either be crated with or left to eat/chew in peace.

The dog does not know that the child "simply and innocently JUST SAT next to the dog"

Just a question, Can the dog be isolated during treat time?

i took every chew/toy from her and gated her in the dinning room as a punishment
But what did you DO to let the dog know the behavior wasn't acceptable?? I mean, if I walk up to you and turn your computer off, are you going to know why?

pbhound, I wanted to add that I am in no way trying to be rude or ugly towards you. I am posting with the wellbeing of you, your family and your dog at heart. Thank you!!
