Ok, I think we've seriously lost the point of this thread:
Muttsandaboston, I think you'll get better responses if you start your own thread posting this question. A few questions you can answer in the new thread: Has she always growled like this for you or is this a new problem? Does she only growl when you pick her up? Why did you pick her up quickly if you knew she gets a little grumpy when you pick her up?
This is the game:
Give a brief case history of a problem: breed, sex, age and problem. Then the rest of us ask questions and ideas of how we would solve the issue. Then the trainer that posted the 'problem' can tell us how they solved it.
