I commend them for how they handled the growling german shepherd. I don't act nearly as nicely, and am ashamed at how I've treated some dogs in the past for growling at me. It doesn't help the situation, and just makes things worse. Plus it scares the dog more, and they end up growling more. My two shepherds don't growl at me at all. If I even raise my voice, they cower, because they are submissive.
But I did do good and not lose my temper when I saw one of my dogs tearing up a portable massage bed and tearing up the shed to get to a cat that was in there. Sadly they killed the cat. But in all that I didn't lose my cool, and am glad that I was able to allow that to happen without me getting mad at them. I don't like how I react to dogs when they are growling at me or when they do things that would normally annoy me.
