i have been bitten by dogs in the past and had to get a tetinus shot. a dog with the same name as me used to chase me when i was a little girl. i have been afraid of dogs. but not any more. dogs, even the most vicious ,love me, even if commanded to bite by the gang bangers. they wag their tails at me and wimper. dogs sence a good person from a bad. they sense i have love for them and will give them a milkbone or snaussage. a pit bull was about to bite me and stopped short when he realized i was a good person that loved dogs. this happened to me many times. i talk really nice to them and pet them and scratch them under their chin, and we have an understanding. they know i have been a mistreated abused person. and they know i would make a good humnan for them to have. they know by instinct.i am more of a cat person. but i love all animals.

It truly depends on why the dog is biting. If play biting you teach it not to bite with corrective behavior. If biting because it is attacking find out why it is before doing something about biting. If biting because it is hurt or hurting that is normal and you get it taken care of by the vet. If you get bit and it breaks the skin you go to the doctor yourself for care.

Depends on whose dog it is. If it's my own, then I'd blame myself for missing his warning signals cause a dog that's well trained always warns before he bites and I know no dog of mine will ever bite without a reason. If it's someone else's dog, I'd take it up with the owner and report it to the cops if it appears the dog is dangerous to other ppl and the owner won't take responsibility for his dog.

It depends on the dog and why he/she is biting. In most cases, I would tell the dog "no" in a firm voice and continue with what I was doing.

It depends on how hard he/she bites. If it's a playful bite, I'd firmly say "no," and ignore the dog so he learns not to bite people. If it's more like an attack, I'd get away from the dog and go to a hospital.
