Hi guys,
Quick question: Why do dogs growl when playing or chasing and is it ok?
My DDB has a playmate who is a rottweiler (male) and he growls when he chases my boy and my boy gets an unsure look and walks away. The growl personally makes me uncomfortable even though his owners say its a playful growl.
Scenario: My boy will get a toy then the rottie will want to take it from him and rams into my boy with a deep growl and my boy will drop the toy and walk off. I want my boy to have playdates, but the growling makes me uncomfortable and I noticed the rottie plays harder when the growling begins and my boy gets hurt (minor cuts).
thanks in advance!
