My golden growls while playing tug. (It's 100% a play growl, no aggression or guarding. Her ears are relaxed and her tail is wagging. She drops it when I tell her to.) I actually think it's adorable but I want her to stop so other people can play with her without being alarmed. Sometimes if we're playing outside she will start growling and the neighbor's dogs will freak out.
Is it as simple as dropping the toy and becoming a tree when she starts growling? Any other tips?
