I firmly believe that anyone should be ABLE to touch their dogs while they are eating and not have the dog react.

That doesn't mean you have to do it all the time.

Your dog is exhibiting signs of food guarding. I have a training plan on my website on how to deal with this and teach the dog that you approaching them while they are eating means GOOD things.
