Turn off the growl you got no warning that a bite is in coming till it is to late unless you a great at reading the dog's other body signals.
Which I am not as yet and most lay people to training would miss read. Which I do a ton so a growl is a nice clear signal I better stop now.
I work not at all from fear in anyway shape or from.
Why make something afraid of us as it is the easy way when we can ask them to join up with us based in mutual trust and respect if not love.
This is just the way I tend to do things as it works best for me and the dogs I have in and around me.
When one see the fall out from doing it the other way one changes.
If it works for you great but is it working well for the dog?
