Because both dogs are not trained in this situation. Growling is the last warning before biting. A dog that growls is a dog in need of leadership and training. | |

| My dog is trained and knows that I am his leader. He has never growled at me with intentions to hurt me.

| I think if you read the links I posted about the NILF program you will understand what Westieboy is trying to say. The NILF program reprograms his mind to view you as the one in charge of the resources so he will not try to guard them. I would really urge you to work with him before the puppy arrives and continue to do so. You have a good reason to be concerned how about he will react to a puppy. The NNILF program is recommended by the Humane Society. It is very humane and effective. |

Maybe someone else will have some other suggestions for you if you don't think NILF will work for you. | |

Capone, I'm not saying your dog is wild and totally untrained. What I'm suggesting is that your dog isn't trained to handle giving up something that is highly valuable to him. Maybe your dog hasn't bitten you over a bone he's trying to guard but don't be surprised if he does with something even more valuable to him. Who knows what that might be, hopefully nothing is ever that valuable to him. I seem to have offended you so I'll leave this thread and wish you the best of luck. | |

| I'm not offended by anything anyone has said, it just seems the information doesn't fit my situation. My main concern is bringing home a new puppy now. I would like other suggestions if anyone has any, thanks.

They have never growled at me. What I am saying is, that dogs in a pack are not always on the same level with each other. They all will be submissive to you, but not to each other. A less submissive dog will growl at a more submissive dog and the dog will walk away. If the more submissive dog walks up to the less submissive dog with the chewie, the less submissive will drop the chewie and walk away. If they are all very submissive dogs, they never challenge each other. But if you have two dominant dogs, you might have some fights. But normally one will back down and that is how they establish a pecking order. The point is unless they are fighting, it is best to let them work it out on their own, cause if you don't know what you are doing, you might read them wrong and correct the wrong one, and create a bigger problem. | |

That is what the growl is for. like saying I don't want to hurt you, so go away. If the puppy has been properly socialized by it's molther it will know the pack rules. Unlike people, mother dogs do not indulge their puppies by giving in to them, they teach them boundries and respect. | |

The second dog did not challenge him, if he had then it would have been the second dog that was causing the problem, not the one with the bone. The one with the bone gave the warning to the other, that he was overstepping his boundries and the other one said OK sorry and moved on. | |
