[Dailydrool] Food Aggression

[Tom]

Hi all
I'm having some difficulty with food aggression. Just seems lately it's been getting worse. I used to be able to have her sit and wait for my command to go eat, but since she's not listening, I put her in her cage while I prepare her food. As I start to close the door, she gets really aggressive and starts to snap, growl, bark, etc. When she finally calms down, I open the door, make her sit and wait for my command then she goes eats. While eating, as we walk by or go to pet her to let her know it's alright that we are there, she starts the stare down, growls, etc..shows teeth, then we back off while she continues to eat. 

This is unacceptable behavior and I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated it.
