this isn't a good behavior to tech (though its a good idea) as you are rewarding the dog for behavior that could become dangrous. dogs growl before they bit someone and if they think it is ok to growl it may turn into some unwanted behavior (like biting) that someone could report you for and as a result your other wise sweet dog could be put down.

my dog is very protective and it has more to do with the tone of the words. First it has to like you a lot one way keep in a keneal or garage for long periods. it gets it to appreciate. once thats happened (keep doing for while) start a fake fight holding dog and have person scream word. when it sees fear and is attached its gonna protect. works better with girl pups. xp let me know what you think

Get someone you know to talk to you for a while in-front of the puppy, then have them say the adverse word. Pretend you're a dog, and growl at them when they say it. Do it quite a few times, separated by some time. If the dog picks it up, give it a reward.
If there is anything else that makes the dog growl, try to form an association between the growl trigger, and the bad word.
