No one commented on the fact you are in a beautiful mountainous environment.... wow. Totally cool!!
How about when a dog growls when someone pets him or hugs him, what should I do?!?
You need to start with him just not growling with them near him, and your helper offers food- it's a slow process to build trust
Veterinary Secrets WOW, great tip. Hopefully, he learns. Thanks a lot.
Hellen B. You need to train your dog. Any kind of growling is not good
Babe 05 That’s not a good sign at all.
This bloke is an idiot
2:10 Did you even notice ur dog leaving?🐶😂
Yup
Hes just taking a shit or a piss
I can’t stand this anymore
My Akita Shepard
Is so timid all of a sudden and growls and will be scary even after feeding him
I’m nothing but nice to him
Idk what’s going on
Ever since my dad died from covid he changed
My dog growls at me when I want to give him a bath, what do I do?
I had to take care of my dad’s dog because he’s away for 1 week and so i have a good connection with my dog i always played with him and he never growled at me, but ever since we took him to my mom’s house he started growling at me when i’m around him. He approaches me to pet him then he starts growling. I really want to know why he’s been growling at me.
My dog used to growl at us cuz the things she stole from my fams closet but my mom snapped at her back and now she’s scared of my mom and wouldn’t steal from us instead we give her dog toys.
So wut do u do when ur dog chews on a piece of furniture if ur not supposed to punish him
appreciate how you comment on adopting dogs from shelters. Many dogs have had a very rough life, to get a new home means a lot of right reinforcement that it will be a forever home. My service dog is a rescue pup, and we train daily to try to calm his fears as we have no idea what life was for him before the caring shelter staff took him in. His forever home is now with me. He's an amazing companion! thank you on this video!!
My dog growls because she either took my sock and I want it back or, she either ate my home workn
My dog also do that
Is there a way to prevent this? Dog just growled at me and showed teeth about the sock I was trying to get back
Never punish your dog for growling. It can make your dog suppress it's growl and dogs growl as a warning sign that they're in fea or sick or feeling anxiety and that it's about to react and bite. So you make your dog suppress the warning sign he's giving you that he's going to bite, then one day instead of growling to warn you or your kids, he's just going to bite you. That's why you hear so many stories about dogs biting without showing any signs of aggression before hand. Now what you wanna do is find the reason it's growling. There's numerous things, such as anxiety or fearful of people, or it's being territorial, or it's sick or hurt, or it's guarding an object. And once you find you out what the underlying problem is you can start training them on how to get over it. BUT NEVER TRAIN YOUR DOG TO SURPRESS IT GIVING WARNING SIGNS BY PUNISHING IT WHEN IT GROWLS. it can and most times Does nothing but lead to unprovoked attacks.
Good suggestion- Thanks
What a tip! thanks
I have a 1 year old shin tzu who’s sweet 99% of the time. Once I say “night night” when it’s time for bed he gets real nasty...a growl ensues and idk what to do! I don’t want him snapping at me like this
did your shih tzu stopped growling?
The third big point about not being nervous should be the first big point.
lovely video, you're a great speaker. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!

Every time I go in my wife room my dog growls and try to bite when I hug my wife or go to sleep with her
You're the mistress lolll
Why does he look like dean ambrose
lol
My dog growls and barks to strangers that pet, cuddle, look at him. 😰 what do I do? I had many dog trainers visiting and also the vet looked at him. Please help me!!!
Need to go back to basic training, rewarding the right behaviour
Veterinary Secrets thanks!
It's probably u then
but what do you do if your dog was growling at you and nipping you when they are comfortable and don't want you near them? would u punish them then? even if they lived with you for a few years? wouldn't they have some trust, when you've never betrayed them and always showed them complete love and affection?
No, but you need to look at re-training- This is never OK. A good dog trainer can help alot
Don't punish ur dog no matter the situation
I’m slightly having problems with my dog growing or snarling at me as I try to pet him or rub his belly. This has never been an issue- he is a 6 month old husky mix, I have tried giving him space, he has not bit me and if his toys are laying in the hallway and I try to get through, he decides to get in front and start being seemingly aggressive.
I can tell you what’s wrong
Big Nigga tell me please!
@@bignigga1674 tell me please
Same , he is starting to tair all his Toys , his bed and growling or snarling at me
my dog is a puppy. he is mostly good and doesn't bite aggressively most of the time (i think we taught him to stop) but occasionally when i rub his tummy or tell him to stop biting, he will start biting hard, and eventually growling and barking. i don't know what to do. he is a husky german shepherd mix.
Hey did he stopped it... Or he's been same?? Can you give me update cause my 45 days old puppy is doing same
@@Jaypatel-up4jg Yea, he stopped! He's the best little doggo out there now, super cute and friendly to everyone he meets. We love Jogi! He'll learn in time, don't worry :D
@@emmillyy. any particular tips or training that I should start with my Puppy so it helps??
People want to pet my dog, and if they're strangers, he will growel. I tell them to ignore him, and they don't listen. I always tell them to let him come to them, and that does work.
How do I make him understand, not to lay there. He tried to argue with me every night. So he growled at me. Also when I take him walk , I take my truck, normally he can jump up into it. But sometimes he can not make it. So I try to help him. But he growls again. I know he old and has some pain in his legs. But I try to be careful. My dog like to be independent
Hello. I adopt puppy 1 month old. She don't like to being touched when she playing and when she being touched, she will try to bite it. I already touch her head and body. Whats wrong with her and what should I do? But when she eat, I can touch her freely. I really need help please. Thank you.
My 5 months old puppy just randomly starts growling at dogs that he played many times before, and afterwards he gets aggressive also towards me for few min. I really dont understand what’s happening,. There is no patern in his behaviour
Why dose my dog growl but not bite she is only 7 months old plz in need ur help and she is also from the shelter so I’m not sure why
Hello, my problem is my dog is 15 years old and at night time he like laying in front of bathroom door. I do not like him laying there, because night time. Someone might trip over him
I've got a border collie who growls but doesn't raise his lip - he growls at everything and whenever you go to cuddle him but when you say "no" to him he snuggles in arms to say sorry and continues to growl. What do I do?
Only time our yellow lab really growls is when the neighbors go by.
Or if we leave the. TV on late at night, and she'll stare us down and give a little short growl a few times, no teeth, until we turn it off and let her sleep.
my dog has a issue with men. he is fine around women but growls and tries to bite men
Kathryn Duenez mine too...i adopted him. I might send him back
Kathryn Duenez OMG same my dog always barks at men and never at women it's so wierd. What kind of dog do you have
L8dyBanks Don’t send him back:((((
Mark Jayson Enverzo Lmaoooo
I am the same.
My dog is a spitz he is always growls when I call him when he is doing something or sleeping
What should I do?
I'm sad my dog become older he become more aggressive
Trainers want all the vaccines.
Thank you for posting this valuable information...I am going to save your great info here...I think either I have done the wrong things at times with dogs or others have done the wrong things with THEIR dogs and while I was trying to get to know their fur babies! Not a good thing at all!!
Your advice is extremely helpful!!
My dog growls when I remove stuff that he eats from the floor
Could you please help me? Our 4yo male shih tzu is oriented more toward me. Sometimes when my husband tries to pet him, he will growl and has snapped a few times. The confusing thing is that he will come to my husband to be petted but will begin to growl when he does. How do we change this behavior? I'm tired of being the referee in the house.
I am in same situation and now partner bit jealous too🥲
Hello, What could be the reason why my dog starts growling at me and barking excessively (barking off and on for hours) when I come home late at night?
Context: was out for about 12hours, at a place with cats.
(Previously he doesn’t have any issues when I was out or at a place with cats)
My dog was rescued because the mom was eating the pups so we got her about a day old she’s probably about 3y old. She’s always growling at especially children/family or when we have her toy what do I do when she growls
My dog growls at me even when I am giving him food and he can't bear me to be near him when he is eating how can I train him not to do that
Madina Khan my dog growls all the time I know what it’s like and she’s blind so it’s even harder for me to find a video that tells me what’s wrong
My dog growls at me and doesnt let me near him but not at anyone else why would this be?
I had my dog for years he’s a red nose pit and I be leaving out every week day for school and get home at 4. When I get home he always comes to the door to see who it is and I be really excited to see him and I pet him and rubbing him and he started to growl at me idk why because he usually happy to see me, why growl at me?
got upset when my own dog growls at me
I just received a morkie rescue pup five days ago, day 1 she was getting used to us so she was standoffish by day two she was all over me following me everywhere. Day five, today I took her to the groomers and she received her 1st haircut but since we’ve been home she’s been growling and barking at me and even attacked my 7 year old son !!! What should I do! I hate to say it but I’m a little bit scared because I don’t want to be bit and every time I get close to her she’s growling and barking. I thought we already established a connection because the last few days she sits in my lap, she lays down with me for a nap but today it’s like we’re back at square one!! Please Help!!
My dog growled at me when I try to give him dog food. He growls and bites and HE BROKE MY NOSE, until I give him junk food. HE STEALS SWEETS. I am starting to get so frustrated, he hears a firework, he sits on me. I calm him down when he’s scared like that. YET HE STILL TREATS ME LIKE HIS DOG.
Need to see an experienced trainer
You need to show dominance and put the dog on its back with your hand on their neck. Show your the alpha. You don’t have to be rough just don’t start and give up.
Creadel Parker Jr that is such an outdated debunked method. Read Suzanne Clothier training
Maybe you shouldn’t have a dog. Owning a dog should enjoyment not a total headache
My puppy is very happy and 3 months old, and gives kisses but then out of no where when he was happy then he growls and bites.
Brazen Brunette i have the same issue with my puppy ! Did you figure out what is the reason for that?
This was very helpful for my 5 month old puppy who tends to be aggressive towards strangers especially children, I can never let anyone pet him! I will follow the steps of this video!
Thanks Alex
How is it going
My dog growls when I brush him and he acts depressed.What should I do?
Thank you for your wonderful facts I will try this 😊
My poodle growls when I approach him when I go to pick him up and if I move him. Need help it’s getting worse I need a way to understand and stop it.
Patrick Padddy Maybe he’s in pain. Get him checked out.
I am a professional dog trainer, really good advise given here.
My 3 month old boxer puppy growls when we picks him up and he tries to bite us he only let us pick up when he want to walk down the stairs earlier he let us do this but know he doesn't like I don't know what is wrong with him
My chihuahua just got him and jn the night hes fiesty
What happens when your dog keeps growling at other dogs?
I don’t even own a dog
My dog only growls at other people when I'm carrying her, but she seems so chill with them when I'm not (she even let them rub her belly happily). Do you know what that means? Oh and thanks for the helpful video!
She might have been sensing danger and thinking that she is in charge and she is protecting u.Show her u are the boss.
thanks for the tips Doctor. How about if the dog growls at another dog? how does it bring his confidence up in meeting new dogs?
from my experience, if you care to hear from me, i find using another confident, nonaggressive dog is helpful. these dogs don't really react to the barking and growling teaches the shy dog that there is no danger. i have a dog that just stands there and lets other dogs bark, growl and sniff... the big production doesn't last long and soon after they are usually playing.
Hi, I ditto that comment. My own dog Lewis has been used in that situation- he never growls back, is chill with the growly guys, then starts to play
My mom used to date a guy named Andrew Jones
Doc, why are you and your dog involved in an altercation with a neighbor's dog? If your dog is on a leash and you clearly stated that her scared dog was on a leash... Then again, WHY was there an altercation? IF both dogs are on a leash and you are respectful and a considerate neighbor then why not walk AWAY from the scared dog? Looks like you live in a woody area, BUT when you are near neighbors, do you put your dogs on a leash to respect the SMALLER or scared dogs that reside near where you walk your dogs?
my dog growls at me when i attemp carrying him
Some dogs are like that.
Mine is same , did u found solutions ? Mine is 6 months old
Legend ty
Thank you so much!! I took in a year-old pit puppy & he is scared so I thought comforting him was the answer. He does not like my son-in-law, who lives in the home and he growls at him, he is great with the other animals and he is very sweet.
Hmmm.
I know your comment is almost a year old, but here goes.
I always learned that if a dog is usually sweet and loving towards other people or animals, but there's one they don't like at all and growl at all the time, there's a good reason why they don't like that person or animal.
They always sense what most of us can't.
Your dog is trying to tell you something about your son-in-law.
Today i got very scared from my street dog who never even growl at me she is 3 now and she had deliverd babies third time ( so today her one of the puppy got stuck in a narrow place outside because she is a stray i only feed them and pet them everyday i am not allowed to have pets at home because my parrents wont allow so i tried to get him out with my friends and the mother was again and again worrying to much and running towards us not to harm but to see her puppies still we are kids we got scare and lock her where are puppies were than we took out the puppy and place it with her but she was growling at specially me so much that even i got panic a lot and breath heavilly even they never attacked it still so scary but luckily she is the daughter of a very very kind mother which never even growled at people even when got bitten in her life she is currently 5 years) ( thats why i search this video even tho i clam her up but for future guidence becuase i love animals and have a great knowlegde about themm but i am only 14 so i will learn everything about every animal so i can help them)
My dog Bigfoot and Arnold wouldn't growl at me for nothing in the world I raised them from babies but my brother has a basset hound and he growls and will bite if you pet him. He only lets you pet him when he comes to you. He has tried to help him and has gotten bit bad a few times. When I go to visit I pet him and he will growl and I tell him no and somehow he listens to me and not him or his wife and step kids..
I have a 6 month old boxer pitbull mix and she’s rlly sweet and licks my face all the time but if I move my hand the wrong way she’ll start barking and growling and when I walk away from her she runs up and bites me and it kinda hurts and we’ve never hit her so idk what to do can someone help 💀
My puppy growing on me and try bite me when I carry him . What I can do ? he is 6 months Boston terrier
Mine's been occasionally doing that too. Usually if she's hyper or having fun when I pick her up. I think she thinks I'm ruining her fun. How's your dog now?
I started using treats when I picked her up for a few weeks and that helped.
@@duta6388 mine is better but still doing ... like u said they think we ruined the fun 😉 ... i love my dog 🐕
He’s lovely to play and great on walks yet he growls... he’s great with the cat yet he growls at me. He does it over his food too
My yorkiepoo was so loving and fun until I took him to Petsmart to be groomed. Ever since then he goes spastic if I try to give him a bath. I truly believe they were mean to him during the grooming.
Our dog growls at strangers, whats the best way to go about getting him to stop?
Ashley Addison try searching for a video to find the solution that’s what I have been doing
I have a dog (German shepherd husky dalmation mix) who gets along with other dogs but he dosnt like other people . is there anyway I can get him to like people . he just turn 3 .
I took my puppy from a dog foster home about a year ago. I love him to bits; he has a great personality, and I feel that he loves our family so much. BUT, whenever I take him for a walks, we have problems. He hates other dogs and sometimes even growls at us. My husband and I were thinking about taking him to 'doggy school', but then again, it’s extremely expensive, and the nearest 'doggy school' is far away from us. Maybe you have some advice? THANK YOU!!!!
My dog ussualy growls when an another dog is near her toys. She's not possessive over food only toys and sticks.
Mine does it while playing. What’s does that mean?
Doc I have a small wound and I have a baby dog like 5 or 6 moth and she lick my small wound and I don't know if it has a rabies or not
I just adopted a rescue border collie (5 days in). He is very friendly with my husband and myself however he barks / growls and snaps at my 13 year old daughter occasionally. Only her, usually when he is getting pets by me. Would this technique work in that situation?
It can help- I would also strongly suggest seeing an experienced dog trainer
My dog growls when other dogs growl at her. I know this should be considered normal, but she’s supposed to be a service dog but doesn’t at all act like it when I’m by myself. She’s great with the trainer though. I feel like it’s me.
first of my grandmas chihuahuas just stopped liking me she growls at me a couple years ago she was friendly to me but now.... idk what happened she will bite me if i pet her and she will bark at me a growl I did nothing to her am I the only one ???? its getting to the point were i dont want her to be here anymore.... :C
Mine growls n lunges at my hands when I'm sitting down with my elbows by my knees n hands hanging down. Why?
My silky terrier is about 3 years now. He has always growled at other dogs when they come near me even if other dog owner pets him but about 6 months ago he has been growling and even big snap at me and hubby. I don't live anywhere near dog training place. I've had him since a baby. I know his growls, he does a different grrr when you love on him. Like a pur but then sometimes he tries to bite...i don't know what to do. We do have other dogs outside he gets along with great...
my puppy growls when i hold hin
Carlos Gaming/more! SAME
Don’t fucking hold him ya dumbass
My baby growls at everyone that rub her back and stomach. I took her to the vet and she had a surgery and wasn't the same after now she growls at me for rubbing her stomach.
Thank you! This helped so much.
Glad it helped!
My 6 week old malinois dog loves me,but she sometimes growls at my dad and sister
my dog used to be rely fond of people but a kid beat him with a stick now he hates every thing new
Dont punish your dog for growling its how they communicate
My dog bit me and i dint even do anything by arm was gushing out blood and i dont want him anymore
Kevin Vigil just because your dog bit you once, it doesnt mean that you should give him away.Find out what makes your dog angry and why.Also figure out how to avoid it or contact a animal expert.Dont just neglect your dog by that one accident.Is it a puppy? If it is then, its just nipping..puppies do that.
Samantha _M. Its not a puppy its a full grown pitbull and bit me 3 time before that message was seen
Kevin Vigil do you still have it?
Yup
Kevin Vigil Does your dog listen to you? If not then you need to be dominant to your dog.If not, then your dog might not listen of care so much about you.
He was doing fine, but now for some reason he growls whenever I try to per him. He doesn’t show teeth or anything, just growls.
Is it just me or did anyone else watch the dog and not hime.
What about when the dog growls only when you touch his paws
There was good advice toward the end about adopting a rescue pet and understanding reasons why it is fearful from its past, and the unintentional positive reinforcement of reassuring them when they are exhibiting certain bahaviours youre trying to calm them from
I have a GSD, male 4yo. He growls at me when I'm dressed up and leaving home or if I went to my car.. and if I went back to him and look him in his eyes.. he just heavily growls and if I looked down or somewhere... He stops growling..
What to do? Is he angry at me for leaving or is he just scared of me going?
Sounds more like aggression- best to see a trainer
I hate my dog i just want to sell him
Thanks homie!
When I go near and hug my mom he growls what do I do
Might be a jealousy thing. When I hug my husband my dog whines really loudly.
My dog recently has gotten more aggressive and I dont know what to do.
Full story but I'll try and keep it short. Hes (poodle schnauzer mix) always been a bossy dog but good. One night I hovered over him with both my hands on the bed and he got extremely defensive and growled very aggressively.
I had heard it's good to show them their bites arent a threat so I balled up my fist and put it in his face. He growled VERY intensely and in my confidence I flattened my hand and that's when he got my hand in his mouth but stopped short of biting me, I pushed forward and out my hand to the back of his mouth and he began to truley bite me as hard as he could. He bit up my pointer enough to leave a couple punctures and make it numb. He was in constant defense mode that night and eventually he got on the floor and in his bed.
I put his stuff on the floor (normally sleeps with me).
He was punished by me ignoring him and moving him out of my room for 2 days entirely. No entry allowed. Than I let him back in and a day later, he mildly lunged at me when I walked toward him and went to pet him.
A few days later I'm playing with him and in a tug of war he took the toy and when I went to go grab it from him to keep playing, he snap at my hand.
I dont know what I can do to help this if anyone has any advice or training tips please help me. I have anxiety where I once had love for my dog but now I'm so scared whenever I approach him because I just dont know if hes gunna bite my hand again. I really need guidance.
Talk to your vet- consider checking thyroid level. Then see a good trainer
i rescued a dog he is two years old when i first got him was an angel and after 1 month he started growling and barking at my guest. he has become territorial to all the bedrooms and living room also kitchen in my house he barks growls and also bite my daughter my dog trainer says he is territorial my vet thinks i should go see a dog phycologist. or put him on anti-depressants i am his 4th owner if it doesn't work out with me they will put him to sleep
Have you considered CBD oil? Aggression is sometimes rooted in anxiety. CBD oil may help him calm down.

Louis was terrified!
hahahaha... for sure!
Funny :-)
Somebody help! Whenever i go and try to walk my dog and put the leash on he growls at me! Maybe its because i dont give him enough attention. I am 13 and my parent usually walk him. I dont know how to make him to trust me. What should I do?!
Best to see a trainer
Why does some dogs growls at you when you carry it and when you go close to it's bed?
Dogs are territorial. That bed is probably seen as its territory. You were invading it.
My dog always growls when you look at her and when you touch her sometimes she growls at the damn wall
He growled at me he had a stupid bone... I kinda went rage and hit him with a newspaper I felt betrayed and hurt I got pissed.
Wtf don't hit your dog bcs of that! it's his bone image someone just taking away your chocolate bar you wouldn't like that either
Thats not a valid excuse to hit your dog.
Lol
Dr. my dog bit me on my chin, is it right to just avoid my dog so he won't bit me again? I think I had an eye contact with my dog while slightly punishing him for scratching that's why he bit me. please help me what to do with my dog. thank u Dr. ( Philippines )
Hi- you need to go back to a dog trainer, and discuss aggression- it may be fear or it may be dominance
@@VeterinarySecrets thank you so much for your reply Dr. :)
If your dogs growling you just start to growl like scott lewis from carnifex and there will be nothing but pure silence and peace trust me
OK?
My dog turns 4 in a month, and she used to be very obedient and good with other dogs. But my mom starting dog sitting at our house, and now she growls at all of the dogs in our house and even dogs she meets on walks. I’m sure it’s because these dogs are always in her space, but I don’t know how to make her be sweet and playful with other dogs like she used to. Any suggestions?
Can you first see a dog trainer
Veterinary Secrets I can’t really afford to take her to a trainer right now
I’ve had my dog for 2 years. I got him when he was 2 so he is four now. He loves to play rough and growl all the time although he is playing. He always licks me and gives me plenty of love. I have never hit him or anything idk if in his past home he was abused a bit, he’s never bit me. I think he may have anxiety issues, he’s a chiwawa-terrier mix
