Nice try, but that's a myth. Baring your teeth is a fight reflex in
dogs and even small ones will react to it. Try it sometime with your
own dog and see what happens.

Well, I guess nobody told the dogs its a myth.. That tactic has worked
for
me on my own dogs (though rarely used), others' dogs, even on feral dogs
in
central asia and the mid-east the many times I've been there over the
years.
It isn't just the teeth - its the whole package, tone, and attitude. If
it
were just the teeth, every time you smile your dog would tear out your
throat. You just have to be smart enough not to pull it on a dog that's
almost as big as you -- the intimidation factor drops to near zero.

I bow to your superior knowledge of dog behavior.

I'm so wrong.


Now boys.........behave or no cookies and milk for you tonight!

Die.


Eh?

You can roll on the floor (whatever that means) all you want Doug, but I
still don't understand your "die" comment.
