Why is MY DOG growling at ME? (5 Steps to Solve this Issue)

However, growling can be considered as a defensive or an aggressive behavior since the science to growling is that dogs are only growling when they feel uncomfortable or disturbed.
One of the things that pet owners should understand is that when your dog is growling, something may not be right.
There could be something that’s upsetting him, or there are potential threats around him which triggers his instinct to protect himself.
Although we don’t want our dog to growl at us, we do not want them to stop growling whenever he’s feeling uncomfortable. In fact, it might help in determining if there is something wrong with your canine companion.
Most dog owners would punish their dog just for a little growl and suppresses it. It would prevent your dog from naturally growingling whenever they feel uneasy, which is definitely bad for the dog.

If you hear your dog growling, don't punish it or try to silence it. If you want to stop your dog from growling, be ready to follow the following five steps.
