This Question Is Answered:
 I Have A Five Year Old Male Miniature Poodle Who Growls, Shows His Teeth, Etc. Whenever He Disagrees With Me. I Do Not Know How To Correct This Problem. Thanks For Your Help.
Our dog, Chase, has been to obedient school and responds to commands such as sit, stay, outside, etc. He loves to play . He is loveable on his terms, not ours. He growls if he has a bone and I try to take it (I can somewhat understand this) however, he also growls, shows his teeth and would bite, I think, if I didn't give in. He can be sitting on the sofa and I sit beside him and he growls at me (Like he thinks I am going to make him move) which I have never done. Help!!

 You have to become top dog! It will just get worse with age... Check out the "dog whisperer" books by Cesar Millan... They'll teach you everything you need to know.  (and no.. I don't get a cut of the royalties : )

 This behaviour is indicative of aggressiveness in which the dog is trying to assert itself. At this point the most effective way to handle this is to get the intervention of a qualified dog trainer who will change the behaviour of the dog. A dog will help the dog relearn behaviour and stop the aggressive attitude before it graduates to biting.
