Why Your Dog Growls At Some People And Not Others

Why do dogs bark at specific people?

Dogs are very expressive animals, and their body language and behaviour will show how they are feeling. While barking at people shouldn’t be treated as bad behaviour, it’s helpful to recognise why your dog may be doing it. With positive reinforcement training and ensuring you don’t inadvertently encourage them, your dog can learn that barking at people is not acceptable and won’t benefit them.
