Watch this video a few times and observe the dog before the bite. Watch for:
1) The dog licks his nose.
2) The dog's ears go back.
3) The dog's body stiffens.
4) The dog stars directly at the reporter.

Show me your dog and I will know what kind of person you are.
About Me
- Robin Sallie
- MN, United States
- This TAG addict's goal is to turn nag points into TAG points. I started to blog to record my quest for certification. My most often TAG subject is an 8 year old. She was introduced to TAGGING at 22 months old while being house trained with a clicker and M&Ms and often asks me to "click" her when she is frustrated.

Man we could see that one coming, couldn't we? You'd think the handler would have too. Su would react like that to that approach, but would not bite just snarl, still scares people! So I have learned to watch for it. Bet both those guys are more careful in the future! :)
That tooth moved though, didn't it?
Myra Kotrla, and Su
...And then the guy leans OVER the dog and that's when it snaps at him. Of course this is a lot easier to see in slow-mo.
BTW, this dog didn't *bite*; he did an impressive snarl-snap and showed lots of teeth, but as far as I can tell the reporter wasn't damaged. It was a warning, not a bite. I think if the dog had actually wanted to make serious contact, he could have done so very easily.

the dog never closed his mouth on the face of that reporter and said human was lucky the dog didn't want to rip his face off. The dog pulled back but there was nowhere to go, the handler was right behind him.
We changed the name of our blog, didn't we?
This is why I keep my distance from dogs. I'll look for these signs the next time someone says "he won't bite".
Wow. that dog certainly was telegraphing, but the handler probably couldnt get a good read. Plus who leans over the top of a police dog???? Excellent bite inhibition.
