【Expert answer】
Any Q

As a dog owner, you probably get upset when your dog growls. Your first reaction may be to suppress the growling by scolding or punishing the dog. This is never a good idea. By teaching your dog that growling isn't acceptable behavior, you're taking away its ability to warn you that it may bite. 3 мар. 2020 г.

Should you punish your dog for growling?

Punishment of the growling behavior hinders your dog's ability to communicate how he's feeling and decreases his warning signals before a bite. Dogs that have been punished for growling or other aggressive warning signals may progress faster into a bite, and they may display fewer warning signs.
