What to do if a puppy barks aggressively at its owner

A puppy’s aggressive growling at its owner may be the result of the following: Firstly, the owner should reflect on whether his or her behaviour in the moment is making the dog feel scared and upset. Secondly, illness has caused him to be more grumpy, or he may be expressing his distress and thus growling at his owner. When a puppy growls aggressively, do not approach it and gently reassure the puppy or give it a snack and wait for it to settle down or stop growling like this before interacting further.
