Why does my puppy growl and snap when I pick her up?

What people tried

Every workaround mentioned in the threads below. We haven’t tested any of them — and nobody here is claiming they worked.

1. 1
   Changing apartment layouts so the puppy can freely walk to the potty area rather than needing to be carried
2. 2
   Using trading, 'leave it', and 'drop it' commands instead of physically taking items away
3. 3
   Using management strategies like baby gates and house lines instead of physical intervention
4. 4
   Consulting a trainer
5. 5
   Using physical correction like holding the puppy tighter and putting nose to ear
