Thanks for your reply!

The thing is that - Toby doesn't get anything for free. He has to sit/stay or down or just stand/stay for just about everything. I always walk through doors first and when we are out walking, as soon as he gets ahead of me I stop moving and he has to come back into a heel before we continue. This is a struggle at times - and often results in long walks going seemingly nowhere but that's life! Before we play (with a toy or not) he also has to sit before we start.

The only, only times he growls are with food (each and every meal for the past little while) and the 3 times with his toys. He doesn't ever growl for a treat (during training), just his food bowl.
and only with me :sad: . He was staying at his old house over the weekend while I had an intensive course and I was told he didn't growl at all.
