So.. Today a pit puppy ran up to me and started jumping all over me. My dog is pretty protective if a dog jumps on me (she saw me get knocked over by a big dog once - the owner was nowhere in sight and it was a small town) but she usually just pushes the dog away from me with her paws or body. Today, she was growling. It wasn’t malicious, just a warning. She’s super sweet and never has done anything aggressively. She was ready to play with the dog a second later (I had her on leash) but she was still being vocal
She also has suddenly been vocal with her best dog friend. But very very gentle. It’s like she’s finding her voice. But with her size, she’s about 70 pounds and 26 inches at 9 months, I really don’t want her to growl while playing. What can I do to curb this behavior ASAP? Today I corrected her with a harsh NO, and we immediately went home.
