I totally agree. Do not pet a dog for growling at you, even if you are trying to calm him down. He doesn't see it that way...Cesar Millan's rules, exercise, discipline, then affection. By petting him you skip the discipline and go right to affection there by reinforcing the growling. Ponzo has never once tried to growl at us, even if he jumps on the window to watch people and strangers show up at the neighbors next door, if he so much as even starts to bark at them he gets corrected. Boy does he hate that water bottle and the "shh" sound with the point. Gets him everytime though!
PS- I saw the episode you were talking about...Boy was that Jindo bad! Thank god for Cesar...although pardon my thinking out loud, but the original owners of that dog must not have put 5 seconds into thinking what dog they would want..a Jindo, that's like getting a smaller Akita on a whim. Are you nuts!!??
