Thank you everybody for your advice. I am located in Sydney, NSW....int he city pretty much I would appreciate any recommendations of behavioural people anybody might have. Thanks so much.

Hi there. This is my first time using this site....so hope this is going somewhere, I have a chocolate labby male who will turn 1 on the 27th of Jan. He's a beautiful , well socialised dog normally and very friendly and listens most of the time. The only problem is , when i give him a bone, he gets extremely agressive, his back hair goes up, growls at us, shows his fangs, and recently he has actually bit me. i was devastated and shocked that it came from a labrador....i didnt think that it was in their nature. Then on saturday he bit me again, after i tried to make him sit down for a chicken wing. I used to always make an effort to pat him and touch his face when he was eating...and now he has started to growl at me also when i do this. Nothing at all has happened out of the ordinary, nor has any day to day routine changed since ive had him. I am not sure what to do now......considering sending him to a behaviourial specialist??? I would really appreciate any help or advise anybody has on this matter. Thanks for your time Thanks for your time........Anna
