The only time Ruby growls is when we play tug of war. She starts to growl as she tugs harder at the toy and the harder we tug the more the growl. When I yell "drop", she will drop the toy and stop growling. I make sure that I win all tug or war games and use the term "drop" to exert my control over the situation. No owner should ever tolerate any growl from their pooch other than a play growl as unchecked growling can turn into biting- but I think play growls are healthy. Curious if all corgis play growl.
