If your puppy is snarling, that means that he does not like what you are doing and it's his way of telling you to "back off". It is obviously an aggressive behavior and you might want to consult a trainer or behaviorist to determine how to handle the situation and to prevent further behaior issues. You may want to also consider different means for controlling your dog on leash, such as the Easy Walk Harness. Halti collars and No Pull collars can be difficult to use because owners sometimes skip over or are not aware of the conditioning it takes to get your dog to be comfortable to wear one. You should not just put it on one day and expect your dog to be happy!

Another thing to consider is, is your puppy aggressively snarling or is he submissively "grinning"? Some people think that just because a dog shows its teeth, it is aggressive, but some dogs curl their lips and show their teeth in order to appease or submit to you.
