How to keep my dog from growling at my son?
I am looking for some advice, my son (10) and I just moved in with my now husband and his 11/12 year old terrier mix. I feel like our dog has an interesting relationship with my son. They share the same bed and night, he let's my son play with him and pet him but he tends to get growly around my son during the day When my son plays upstairs he and he hears him thumping around he will growl. When my son comes down the stairs he will growl. When call my sons name he will growl, when my son comes in from being outside he will growl. I'm at a lost on how or if I should address this. He doesn't get aggressive with my son, he has nipped him once only bc my son didn't read his cues when he was tired if being petted. My son hadn't hurt him as far as I know. My son really loves the dog and gets disheartened when he's growled at. Is there a good way to adress the growling? Or I'd there a way to foster a better relationship between them?
