The couple who came at half 3 have only been left about half an hour. They gave Poppy a full check; training, food agrresion, jealousy etc... Basically he said there is not an aggressive bone in her body, he said she is a lovely dog and the growling thing could have been cos my son was playing loud music when she was eating, the snapping thing with ATD, well he said to ignore it. Im still going to take her to the vets i think to get her a full health check, he did advise this and to also get her spayed.
So thanks everyone who helped.

Another person who may be of use is an animal chiropractor. For example, if your dog has been in any way hurt at the kennels (eg, check chain used overly harshly, halti head collar being yanked, dog put on long line to exercise but accidentally yanked on it....) a chiropractor may be of more help, possibly, than a vet.
It may be useful to find out what equipment was used on your dog and how she was exercised. It may give a clue as to the problem.
After all if she was fine before she went into kennels, it is possible something did occur when she was there. Do you know what reason the kennels does not have a good reputation amongst other kennels in the area?
That sound promising, is it Sarah Heath by any chance?
Strange, isn't it? Maybe it is something to do with being out and away from home in the sense that outside she feels more relaxed for some reason? Was she on or off lead at this time?
Do please keep us posted, it would be very interesting to hear what the behaviourist says. I do hope it is a matter that is easily sorted out - will keep fingers and toes all crossed for you!
Kind regards

Theres either some pain there or some bad association imo,
Also what about her Ears? are they ok? no Infection/mites or even bad tangles? Or has she maybe had her ears roughly groomed maybe by the kennels?????

we think we have come to the bottom of it, the behaviorist said that poppy was so in tune with ESH voice commands that when i tried to physically move her by her collar she got scared. Hence the snapping tha submisive stance. So i have to try and mimick ESH voice. that should be fun lol.
