#3 Deciphering the Low Growl in Dogs
While immensely adorable and loyal, dogs can sometimes exhibit signs of possessiveness or discomfort, which are important for pet owners to understand and respect. One common misconception is that dogs immediately bite or show their teeth when displeased.
However, a low growl is a more common and significant behavior that dog owners should be aware of. This growl serves as a warning, indicating that the dog is uncomfortable with someone approaching their food, toys, or even their favorite humans. Recognizing this signal is crucial for maintaining a safe and respectful distance. When a dog growls lowly, the best response is to calmly back away, giving it its needed space and avoiding further stress or aggression.
