growling problem
We have a very high energy, 3-year old German Shorthair Pointer female.
If someone innocently walks near her bed when she is lying on it, she growls. If someone innocently bumps into her when she is sleeping in the middle of the floor, she growls. If someone walks into the room and discovers her sleeping on the couch, she will immediately growl and jump off the couch, before any corrective action is attempted... Sometimes she will growl for no apparent reason... any suggestions on how to curb this behaviour?

She growls because you have been too aggressive
with your discipline in the past. Most dog bites are caused by too much aggression. by the human. this is michael reporting live... http://dogtv.com john lemon wrote: We have a very high energy, 3-year old German Shorthair Pointer female.

Now if we stroke her all the way down her body she will growl....not a nasty growl. However this does only happen in the evening...NOT in the day. So she is telling all of us she doesn't like it. It is just a warning of something she does not approve of it. Pat.
