haha growling! maybe it works. i'll have to try. mochi doesn't 'grab' strangers because she only gets excited when she sees family. but definitely does it when she's excited.
maybe it doesn't work for every dog though. my mother has a 5 year old dog who gets really annoyed when mochi gets way to excited for her preference...she GROWLS at mochi which doesn't seem to deter her much, but when she snaps at mochi, then usually the annoying behavior seems to stop.
*edit* wait not only does she growl when she's annoyed, she bares her teeth at mochi. it's totally harmless behavior, but definitely an interesting interaction to witness.
i don't know if i could do actually 'snap' at mochi tho haha.
