Hi. I have a 6 year old male havanese and whenever he has a treat, if you touch him or go near him he attacks and bites. Please advise on what to do. Thanks

It sounds like Snoopy is being food aggressive. Do not touch him or go near him when eating, and stop giving him treats for now. I would get him in with a professional behavior expert to deal with this behavior, as I never recommend owners do it on their own due to safety issues.
