I have even had dogs that were normally loving and obedient even get ugly and challenging toward me after receiving rawhide. As one of my dogwise friends said, "Rawhide is serious business!"
My wife and I went through those trials and tribulations earlier with the big female you see, the yellow one. I had to let her know a couple times that any growl or signs of aggression toward humans is unsat. They all get the picture now. We still test her sometimes, by using rawhide, etc, to make sure she still knows not to growl.
