A new column has been published in the Pupforum Ask a Trainer section:
Catahoula Is Talking Or Growling?
My male Catahoula puppy is now 7 months old. He growls at me when I get within 12 inches of his face & then turns his head real fast. I'll be petting him & talking to him, but he gets this real serious look on his face & growls when I get close, and tries to get up & leave even. Two times I noticed him growling at toddlers, when they approached him. This happened on different days. How can I correct this and why is he doing it?...

To be honest with you it is very hard to say if he is growling or just talking without seeing the dog. The body language of a dog is much more complex than most people think. One word of advise, your puppy is at an age where they start challenging authority to test their position, make sure you don’t overlook this situation and seek help from an expert so if there is an issue it can be fixed early.

What I would suggest you is to get your dog trained. The best way to train your dog is to train it at your home.
