A woman has gone viral online for training her dog to growl at 'creepy men' in a bid to keep her safe on walks. TikToker Courtney Munnoch is impressing fellow pet owners with her handy trick to protect herself while out and about with her pooch.
Courtney's protection dog, Rainy the Great Dane, has learnt to "scare away the creeps" and will growl on command whenever she is near people that could be potentially dangerous. The handy technique is widely known as capturing, when a dog is taught to perform a natural behaviour on cue.
