Topic Dog Boards / Behaviour / 1 year malamute growling
- By linda77 Date 22.11.17 15:04 UTC
Hi All

Would be possible get some opinion about my dog behaviour...
malamute 1 year old  growls at women when they  approach him or comes to close. He does not react when we passing people and only in situation when they are very close growling is starting
I was trying different methods / focus / treat/ walked away but nothing helps

Any suggestion appreciated

It really isn't safe to give behavioural advice over the internet. It's much better to get a referral from your Vet or to say where you live and someone may be able to suggest somebody.

Hope you can find someone to help

If you've been chopping and changing methods then you are unlikely to have made progress - you need to be consistent.  An issue like this can take time to show improvement once the right approach is in place, so you have to perservere with whatever you do.  And I agree, you'd be best getting a behaviourist in to observe the behaviour and advise appropriately (not someone who talks about dominance/being pack leader, or anyone who uses punishment of any kind).

In the meantime, have a look here:
