[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A growl is a warning. What do you expect your dog to do when someone is doing something to him he doesn't like? Also he may be more protective of you if you're sick. Give the dog a break. Sheesh.[/quote] This. Most dogs hate being held, especially closely. Your toddler is also probably clumsy and holding tightly, a situation that makes dogs very nervous. The growl was an appropriate warning. Your child needs to be taught never to pick up the dog and to pay attention to the dog’s signals. Have the dog approach your kid, not the other way around. Humane Rescue Alliance has classes on how to manage dogs and young children in the same household. They are holding some events virtually right now, so you may be able to enroll despite Covid.[/quote]
