We were playing. Dogs like to play . I was forever playfully biting his nose and paws and he would playfully bite my hand to try and stop me. One of the most important part of training a dog is to suppress its bite reflex. Your "play" had the opposite result. Could I suggest this is a exa...

Try reading what I actually wrote. "I agree, but it goes both ways, what (for example) if your child had been poking the dog through a fence with a sharp stick for the last half hour, and then someone opened the gate and let the dog out. Who would you blame then?" After being tormented, th...
