[nagdu] ranting handling skills?

[Lora]

Ya I know there are different growls. I wan't sure if it was a play
growl or not. He's never growled in harness. Out of harness when we
play tug of war he sounds like the most vicious dog in the world. Do
you think I am incorrect in not letting my dog shake it's head back
and forth like left to right when we play tug of war because it  hurts
my head when he hits me with his toy. I let him go forwards and
backwards. O/T I know.
