Training Your Puppy to Stop Growling

What do you do when your Pitbull growls at you?

Whatever you’re doing, just stop. If your dog’s growl threshold is near his bite threshold – that is, if there’s not much time between his growl and his bite, get safe. If his growl doesn’t mean a bite is imminent, stop what you’re doing but stay where you are.
