Well it's definitely obvious Milo plays alot more now since getting Gertie - and he plays with her alot now too BUT he GROWLS LOUD and non stop every time when playing - He growls when I play with him too but not as much as when he's playing with Gertie - is he being agressive or is that a play growl? Poor neighbours probably think he's going to kill her!! lol!
I agree Lynn...
sometimes when MoJo plays he sounds like a tiger going for raw meat....we have had to explain to many he is playing...so they would get off the table tops..chuckle...ce
mine do this, we have to turn up the TV when they play

Growling
I think they play growl to make themselves seem tougher.
Hey Lisa I got the same problem...
My chihuahua (taco bell dog) never used to growl until Dolly came into his little world. Now even when he plays with me he growls. It is weird and it is not malicious but I dont understand it either. Anyone have a clue about this kind of behavior?
Thanks.
Milo
Lisa,
Lots of dogs growl/grumble when they play. More then likely if he is doing this only when playing with Gertie, it is play growling and nothing serious. Watch his body language closely to be sure, hackles up, ears flat etc.
Have fun
