Silky Terriers

I have a 4 year old silky that growels when he is woke up,and will bite if you touch him sometime,this is becomeing a problem.What to do?

I would just wake him or her verbally and if he or she growls, show no affection until the growling stops. I would definitely avoid waking by touch, as he or she is most likely telling you, I don't like being woken up by touch. Although eventually, if no reaction is made to the growling, and positive reinforcement is given once the growling stops, it should eventually subside.
