Gradually decrease that distance to dogs & correct when he growls, praise/treat when he doesn't. Eventually he should get the message that momma doesn't want me growling when I'm in her arms & another dog comes up close. Some will tap a growling dog on the nose or hold the muzzle each time they do. |
I wonder why he or where he got this from..? Did I do something wrong? I'm going to try to fix it!!
Maybe he feels threatened Bc I am holding him? I don't know how true that is bc he still sometimes growls at the dog when I set him down-
