DON'T PUNISH A GROWL.

Let's discuss:

Growls serve as a warning function. It's the dog saying they're uncomfortable about something in a situation. It's an opportunity to train or aid in changing perceptions. There is a difference between a dog growling during play (think of your tug games) and a growl intended to warn (resource guarding, defensiveness, etc).

What to do when a dog growls:

Don't take it personally. Increase distance between the dog and the trigger. The trigger may be you. I repeat, don't take it personally. Manage the environment to prevent rehearsal as much as possible. Once a trigger has been identified, you can start changing the perception to it by practicing counter conditioning which is a technique used to change a dog's emotional or behavioral response to a specific trigger. It works by pairing a scary, stressful, or unwanted stimulus (like a dog, a stranger, or nail clippers) with something the dog deeply loves, such as high-value treats or toys.

Obviously there's more to training a dog who growls for whatever reason, but my point here is, DON'T STRESS THE DOG FURTHER! Seek out the help of a positive trainer with experience working with reactive and aggressive dogs. Don't react. Respond. Getting upset or punishing the dog will likely lead to a dog who doesn't warn, but instead goes straight to the bite. DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY. Your dog is just trying to communicate.

If you need help with this or another dog behavior issue, feel free to reach out. I offer virtual sessions worldwide and in-home training for the entire Chicago Metro area, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, and Lake County, Indiana. I also have a network of wonderful professionals and can help you find a trainer in your area if you need it. Message me here, call, or text.

Proper play is so important! Pinecone and Bagel tend to be very bitey players. Our rule is: if you're going to use your teeth, have a toy between you!
