I too read the easly warning signs of your starting to think in a fear mode with your pup. They can grow out of the puppy growling, into dog growling and then the bite.
I think that glencorgi will agree that untrained & mishandled pups/dogs are one of the reasons that she is kept busy in rescue.

I always like to hear peoples oppinons and take them into use.
I know, I dont want her to have the growling turn into adult dog growling and then biting, because that will not be good! Too many people and kids around here
. But I have been doing the tummy rubs as I hold her as a baby and she seems to like that better. When shes relaxed, I tell her, "good girl" and pop a little piece of a iams puppy biscut into her mouth. Shes doing much better on that aspect.
CorgiMom - Lexy had diarhea (sp?) when she ate the beggin strips as well. I threw them away when I realized that they made her vomite. I ended up getting her Iams puppy biscuts, so hopefully they wont make her sick. She seems to really like them.
When I went to wally world, I discovered that they invented
snausage roveroli treats! Aint that something?? Its like ravioli but in dog snack form. They think of everything now...
