The same goes for growling.<\/p>\n<p>And signs that the dog itself feels threatened or scared include ducking down low and tucking their tails between their legs.<\/p>\n<p>Another indication of fear is hiding or\u00a0squeezing behind furniture.<\/p>\n<p>To tackle these feelings, the vet suggests staying calm. If you give them space, the pooch will hopefully feel less on-edge.<\/p>\n<p>She recommended observing the mannerisms of your pet so you can spot the signs ahead of time that they are in distress.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In particular, she advised dog owners to watch how their pooch holds itself. If they hunch or bear their teeth, they might be angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>When angry, a dog may snap, growl or\u00a0suddenly jump towards you while snarling. They&#8217;re more likely to lash out when they&#8217;re stressed,\u00a0according to the expert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But Dr Sara insisted that different dogs react act out differently, so it&#8217;s good always practice to learn your own dog&#8217;s\u00a0behaviour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The expert also revealed that there isn&#8217;t one breed that&#8217;s more likely to be aggressive than others &#8211;
