I have a question about growling/playing. I am not sure we know the difference between them. She does this whenever she is being played with. We certainly don't want to step on her puppy buzz but when is the line to be drawn? If she is busy playing on the floor and Haley goes to pick her up she growls but it seems like it is all part of her play. Don't know. What should we do or not do in this case? Thanks in advance!

We went to the first night of puppy class. She was the teeniest one there. And she was so scared but started to get more comfortable as the class went on. I think this is going to be fun!

whats her personality like..does she like strangers..or is she mostly bonded to you??? grace and pixie play a lot and grace is very growly but its all in fun. however when shes in bed with me and my boyfriend touches her she growls at him, and then comes straight ot me.. she does not like being touched by many other ppl except me. i did have her in training and it did help her listen to me when i say to stop growling.

Hi Ellen. She is only 11 wks old, so I don't really know what to think. Puppy class was fun and she didn't growl at all there. She was so petrified that she wouldn't do much of anything except for cling to my daughter and granddaughter. It is their dog. But the trainer said not to pick her up she needed to just go thru it so she can gain confidence and it did seem to work there toward the end. All the puppies were 3 times her size. She will go to anyone and she did get passed around alot at class. I think this will be a good thing for her. Jo

Puppy class went way better last night. Cloi was very much more relaxed. She went thru all the tunnels and even let the other dogs sniff her without climbing up her mothers pant leg. Everytime she saw the treat she sat down. SO cute
