Your dog, even though it has undergone years and years of domestication, is still very closely related to how wolves behave in their everyday life.

The larger your dog’s breed is, the more closely linked to its ancestors of the wolves it is.

Ranks in packs are of the utmost importance to your dog, it needs to know what its rank is in your family, once your dog has established that majorly important point, it can focus on how it should behave.

Wolves feed by rank and so would your dog, the higher the rank is how food is distributed and guarded, so if your dog growls while it is eating and someone approaches the dog, it is growling to protect its food, not because you are approaching it.
