Thread: Advice wanted on our 9 month old pup please

We have a little rescue pup, she was dumped at about 8 weeks old. She’s always had a bit of an attitude but with some tough love and lots of attention she’s gotten a lot better. I have/had plans to get her to be our little hunting buddy, she loves the gun (you can’t take the gun out without her), she’s got a brilliant nose and is a little pocket rocket.
But she’s tough....
She’s had food aggression, she jumps up on everyone, she digs holes constantly, she doesn’t really listen too well and won’t always come back, she tries to take on other dogs (until they put her in her place).
Last night was a final straw for me, she is alot better with food but growled at me when I fed her. I told her off and she was fine until I went to walk away and she growled and snarled at me again. I sat there for a good 30 mins patting her and showing her I’m not stealing her food and she was good until I went to leave and she’s growled some more. We have a young child so this is worrying. She loves him and is really good with him (besides the odd jump up), she is never far from him and follows him around all day. But this food aggression worries me, One day he might go near her while she’s eating and I’d hate for her to do something stupid, I cant guarantee he will never go near her while she eats as much as I try. I’d love some advice on how to work on this with her otherwise she’s going to need to find a new home because my child’s safety is number 1.
The other issues I need to sort too but the food aggression is most important. Iv never found a dog so tough, she just doesn’t seem to listen and can be really arrogant. Don’t get me wrong she’s brilliant 95% of the time.
