My dog won't leave me alone?

Stop giving her attention when she does it. It's like feeding a dog from your own food while you're eating it. If you do it, the dog comes to expect it. Your dog is, essentially, demanding something from you and you are providing it on demand. So stop giving her attention when you don't want to. It's very useful to teach a dog "go lie down", or "go to your bed", or just plain "go away" or "no" so you can tell it to do one of those things when you have things to do that don't involve petting the dog. You will probably, now that the dog is used to this routine, have to show it many times that you aren't going to do it any more before it catches on that sitting there growling and grunting is not going to get it what it wants.

"Scolding" doesn't enter into it. You are giving the dog a command to tell it to do something else or to stop doing what it is doing.

When you give her attention after she grunts/growls, you're basically rewarding her. SHE is the one training YOU to do the tricks pretty much. If she is intrusive, firmly scold her, and continue to do so until she gets the hint.

I hope this helps!

You water plants, not dogs. Correct this poor behavior each and every time it occurs if it bothers you, don't reward it, otherwise it will only get worse Then move out with the dog, and parents can't say anything, unless of course if it's a family dog.....

I'd give 5 years of my remaining days to have my dog back who was like that. He passed away a few weeks ago.
