I was googling why dogs growl, thinking of Buddha who growled when Hershey and Hoku were playing/wrestling and came too close and came across this article at paw-rescue titled Aggression, Growling, Lunging at Dogs and People Outdoors.
One thing that caught my eye was the focused attention excercise. That's training the dog to give you attention when you call its name.
Yesterday, Kimo was sitting by the storm drain and stayed there even when I went to the steps. I had to show him a treat and he came running. It would have been better for him to come by voice rather than by sight of a treat.
