Why Is A Game Of Tug Of War Bad For The Dog?

Question:

I've read a number of times that you mention that playing Tug of War causes your dog to be aggressive. How? I've played fetch with a ball with my JRT and often we get into a Tug of War with the ball. She does growl but not in an agressive manner. It's more playing than anything. My JRT does not like to not give up her toys (balls, frisby's, stuffed toys). If I give her a treat she'll always let go.
