My puppy growls if I move him while he sleeps ...

Asked by johnny0313x (1855points) November 19th, 2008 from iPhone

I have a 7 month old pit jack mix and when he is sleeping if I try to move him he will growl very aggressively. I have found a trick by doing it slow and holding his head seems to reduce his anger. Now I realize nobody likes to be bothered while sleeping but he sleeps in my bed and usually In my spot. I’m just concerned this could be a bigger problem later on. He usually never growls at anything else not even other dogs. Only grunts or growls a little if he wants my attention and I’m busy. Should I try to correct his sleeping growl. I’m afraid he will snap at me or someone else one day. If I should correct this -how?
