Dogs use growling, barking and various degrees of biting from minor to severe to communicate and to them life is all about dominance, possession, subservience and observance of this order. Getting a dog to stop growling is like trying to get humans to stop talking. Your dog will growl if he doesn't like something or if he feels threatened and is trying to assert himself. Try to stop thinking like a human and look at life from your dogs point of view. What is he growling at? Is it a threat? Jack Russell's in particular will often try to be the dominant dog in any situation regardless of their small size.
