🚨 Does your dog growl? Should you stop it — or is it actually a good thing? If you’ve ever panicked when your Doodle growls, you’re not alone. Many dog parents assume growling = aggression, but the truth is much more surprising.

🐶 In this must-listen episode, I team up with parenting and training expert Michelle Stern of Pooch Parenting to uncover:
❓ Why does my dog growl — and what does it REALLY mean?
❓ Is growling always a warning sign of aggression?
❓ Should you correct your dog when they growl — or thank them?
❓ How to respond if your dog growls at you, kids, or guests
❓ What it means when dogs growl during play
❓ Why punishing growling can backfire (and what to do instead)
❓ How to make your dog feel safe so they don’t need to growl
