I mean this in a nice way so please don't take offence but it sounds like you are not experienced with dog training if you allowed a young pup to growl at your husband without imedietly finding a remedy. I fear this can easily escalate into a bite to your husband or a innocent child. So in light of that yes please see a animal behaviorist who uses a positive approach. It's too hard to know or guess here what precipitates that 1st growl, the dogs body language befor the bark, growl and lunging, biting? Occur. A behaviorist will see the whole family dynamics that we here IMHO just can't possibly be privy to in a couple of paragraphs. Good luck to you in your training endeavors. |
