Aggression Problems With My Dog    Currently own a Saint Bernard Boxer mix who is 10 months old. Her name is April. She has some serious problems I think I may have caused when I was babying her. So first off April is very food/toy aggressive towards cats, not humans though. She also will nip when being taking off a couch by someone. She lunges growls and barks when she wants something. Mind you this dog was socialized a lot as a puppy and has correct training a she has been to puppy class any such. Any tips ?

It sounds like little April has become top dog in your house. I know it is really easy to spoil puppies. They are just sooooo darn cute! But actually dogs prefer to follow humans not lead them. They like to KNOW what the rules are instead of guessing or making them up as they go. They like structure, routine. They thrive on predictability in their lives. So as much as you think you are supporting her 'wants' you are in fact putting a lot of pressure on her. It is important that you decide what is acceptable behavior and what is not and enforce those rules. Be consistent. It is much easier to train a new behavior than it is to stop an existing behavior.
