Stella has started growling recently. Like, when I sit in her favorite chair and she wants me to move. Or, when she wants to eat what I’m eating and is mad I’m not sharing. Or, when she wants me to play with her while I’m busy working on my computer.
Growling to me is the equivalent of a kid throwing a tantrum. Do I ignore it, let her know its unacceptable behavior or punish her. How do you let a dog know when behavior is unacceptable? Will she even understand? How do you punish a dog? I’ve heard not to put dogs in their crate as punishment so that basically means time out doesn’t work. I’m telling you having a dog is like having a kid except I don’t have to pay for her first car.
