Dogs bark. Dogs growl. Dogs bite.....and dogs do so many other NORMAL dog behaviors. It's time to STOP the labelling and demonizing of dogs.
Think about how often humans REACT to things.... stressors and triggers, just like dogs.
Our dogs are living as captive species in our modern homes. We have completely handicapped them. They are 100% dependent on us for everything. They don't have FREE movement or choice in what happens to them or their bodies.
Imagine for a moment if that was YOU.
Take the time to stop and listen to your dog's concerns when he barks. If your dog has snapped or growled at someone, don't punish him. Take the time to figure out WHY he did what he did. If you don't know how, seek the help of a Licensed or Certified Family Dog Mediator®.
Most 'reactive' and 'aggressive' behaviors in dogs happen as a result of something that has happened to the dog in the past, in the environment.....typically because of human behavior, misunderstandings, and misinterpretations of their body language.
Never punish a growl! Your dog has a valid reason. Figure out what that is and help him feel safer next time.
Thank you for listening with an open mind, heart, and soul,
Vivi MJ
