Recently Anisette has started growling over her food bowl towards the other dogs and over some treats to the other dogs. She didn't do this before. So I am not quite sure where it is coming from and what is causing it.
In fact, one time the chewy was on the floor. She was on the sofa. Another dog went to get the chewy, she jumped down and growled.
Now this I am not a fan of at all. And I want to stop her from progressing with this behavior.

First off I would feed her separately. I am of the belief that dogs should be able to eat in low stress environment. For the treats, are you handing them out for nothing? Or does the dog have do something first? If not try having dogs earn their treats. If so teach your dog that if they try to guard the food they loose the chance to earn it. Dog growls send her out of the room, and continue. Let her back in to earn it after 30 seconds later.
