What should I do if my dog bites me when I try to get him to drop something he's not supposed to eat? Pic not related.
Look up 'resource guarding' on YouTube and watch a few videos till you fimd one that works for you.

That was useful, thanks, but I don't know if it fully solves my issue.
He tried his best to chomp at me earlier and I only avoided being bit by inches thanks to naturally good reflexes. Should I get a professional dog trainer if he's already at this point?

I wish I enjoyed life as much as that cow enjoys that thing

Sounds like you should, yes. Animal control and local shelters can help you find one.
In the mean time, try and keep the dog out of situations where he has an opportunity to do this. Don't give him bones, treats, anything except his food, until you've worked with a trainer and he has shown progress.

You didn't avoid it due to good reflexes. A dog has faster reactions than you do.
If he didn't actually bite you, it was because it was a warning snap. He didn't miss, he was intentionally holding back.
That said, this is still dangerous and can escalate into actual biting. So yeah, look up videos on resource guarding, and talk to a professional trainer.
