Pitbull puppy growls at older dog

I have a pit bull puppy and it keeps on bitting and growling at my older shepherd mix what does that mean

Answer #1

If it’s just young (like 4 months or under) It’s playing…and the older dog is letting it know (in a gentle way)…that it is the alpha, and when it wants to play…it’ll do the initiation of the game.
