no table food for dogs ! Your dog is growling because he thinks he is the alpha. Feeding him table food, sleeping in the bed etc only reinforces what he thinks.

Has Howie been naughty or nice? He could end up with some new doggie toys or a lump of coal.

yeah, you have to be consistent. Keep doing that and do some basic obedience a few times a day (maybe 5 minutes at a time, not long).

last night he only tried to get on the bed twice, i think now he's getting used to sleeping on his pillow. i gave him a big blanket too as he is always cold and i think that was one reason for him wanting on the bed, to get under the covers.

he seems to growl and behave that way more near the end of the day, maybe it's fatigue and he is getting grouchy from it? not sure but i'm going to stick with the program thru christmas and see where we are at after that.
