What causes dogs to growl at strangers? How is this best corrected?

I think the cause is the dog's desire to be a protector. He sees strangers, who are a potential danger in his mind, so he wants to both warn his family and let the stranger know they'd better not do anything bad. We have always tried to communicate to our dogs that if we find a stranger or visitor okay, there is no need to growl. Most of them understood. Smile
