#25 Recognizing and Responding to Snarling
Snarling, characterized by a dog lifting its lip to show its teeth, is a clear sign of aggression. Dog owners must understand snarling is not an invitation to pet or play.
When a dog is snarling, it’s best to keep your distance. Approaching a snarling dog can be dangerous, as they are not in a playful or friendly mood. Giving a snarling dog space is the safest response, indicating they feel threatened or aggressive.
