I think you could see the change in Kylo when Snoke revealed that he had been controlling his mind to encourage doubt in it (there was a Kylo reaction-shot as soon as Snoke said that). From that moment, Kylo understood that he needed to guard his mind against Snoke's; he let Snoke see what he wanted to see from that point on. He was letting Snoke see his anger, his aggression, but was intentionally hiding the target of that anger. (Which, admittedly, doesn't necessarily seem like a skill that this impetuous, unfocused young force-user would automatically have, and it also kinda points to Snoke being kinda a second-rate Sith, since Palpatine would never fall for that.)
