When it comes to high value treats he just runs around the flat whining looking for a place to 'bury' it, which is usually under one of our pillows or in a washing basket.
Benny does this, his favourite place usually to hide his treats is to tuck it underneath either me, my partner or my mums legs or behind our backs. I think that's part of why it caught my partner off guard that he snapped trying to take it off him. I suspect a large part of the reaction is when it's a "new" thing he's not experienced before, in my case a minging bit of dead bird, in her case a previously ignored chew toy that he had only just discovered was edible and also amazing he has no idea if he'll ever get it again so it provokes a stronger reaction.

Our poodle is very possessive of (and obsessed with) his ball to the point that we have to ration it. When he was a pup there were a few occasions when we couldn't get him back on the lead because he knew that meant leaving the park and no more ball. You will not catch a toy poodle that doesn't want to be caught. As it is we restrict it to small bursts as the longer he has it the more he wants to keep it and I've done a lot of drop training with him to combat it. However, as I'm sure you know, poodles can be stubborn af in completely random ways.
