yes, that is why many trainers will warn to NOT correct a dog for growling. All that does is remove the dog's method of warning that he is uncomfortable with the situation.
And I agree with those trainers... I want a warning growl (dog attack survivor).
then you get someone that's owned two or three dogs as a kid that decided they can train dogs... "cuz they would do tricks sometimes but were smart about when they wanted to do them" - these persons irratate me.
less then about 85% (compliance first time the command is given, instantly) inside and outside, with or without distractions- is not a fully trained dog... sorry.
