This is so important to understand!! Too many think a growl must be punished. But a growl is a polite warning in dog language and comes before a snap or bite. A growl indicates a dog is not happy -- it may signal pain, wariness, unhappiness with childrens too hands-on handling, dislike of a dog, worry... don;t force a growling a dog, and don;t ever *punish*. A dog punished or told not to growl will then be at risk of skipping the warning and just biting. This is considered one of the most dangerous behaviours, by trainers, and very often cannot be reversed, resulting in the dog being euthenised and/or people being bitten. Do please share this message with all dog owner friends and relatives. :)
