I think someof it I am to blame but here are the symptoms: Snapping and snarling when petted, groomed, or lifted; Mabye dominance agression, bites, dislike being pushed from sofas and beds. How can I stop this? I kinda do "hit" her when shes bad but like tapping more like, idk if I tease her. PLEASE HELP ME AND DO NOT JUDGE ME, I AM NICE TO HER BUT I DO DISCIPLINE HER WHEN SHES BAD LIKE THE REMOVAL COMMAND AND TAPPING HER. NOT HITTING. She has been slapped in the past but not by me. I use positive reinforcement training.

Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

No dog is born aggressive, they learn to be through situation and circumstances, which include fear and anxiety, unclear signals that lead to confusion,aggression towards them, and possessiveness. i think this is the lack of socialisation , and consistent,correct training is usually the cause… i have a golden retriever which is eight months old, he likes to jump up at me and hump my leg, and if i refuse, he would bite me. I also deal with this by beating him like tapping his butt,and give him a stern warning.. Actually, by snapping and growling at someone, be it a particular food bowl, or anyone, it is a way of saying that it is his and no body should take it away from it. yes, a very aggressive dog should be caned and disciplined by a person with authority. if otherwise don’t work, bring it to the vet for advise, and assistance. maybe the past experience of being slapped has made it really ferocious now, so you will have to deal with this by petting or stroking her after she had calmed down, and praise her simultaneously.. only if she’s bad, do you slap or scold her..this is the time to show your love towards it, and let her gain your trust again…trust me, every dog small or big, wants love, care and attention.. when she growls, give her a stern command,"don’t growl!" and when she doesn’t growl, praise her. BUT… do not praise the dog for growling or snarling… because, by doing that, you are actually encouraging the dog to be aggressive. and when your dog is eating from her food bowl and you touch her, she growls, that is actually food guarding. do not disturb the dog, you will get injured! you can deal with this by keeping your distance away from her and only collect her bowl after she finish licking everything from the food bowl.. if you go to the vet, the vet might give you suggestions on how to deal with this better, such as carrying your dog,grooming your dog and training tips… hope this will help you understand your dog better….
