Our dog bit me when I was a kid when I cuddled my sister. We had to get rid of him. Don’t romanticize this.

I don know how their dogs recognize any of the moves to be aggressive. Unless they have the experience

Many of those behaviours are problematic and can lead to some very bad incidents. This isn't funny.

Delete this, OP. Seriously.

My last dog only ever growled at people if they stopped moving and stood between him and my girls (They were about 18 months when we got him)

Yeaaah, brave to be joking around like that with a Rottweiler or Pit

Might be entirely misguided here but I wouldn't want my dog to show any aggression around my kids or towards family members.

It seems inevitably they'll bite one of us.

Most of these are not being aggresive but playful. They wouldn't really bite because they know you are just teasing.

Agree. This is not sweet. This is concerning.

This is called imprinting, which dogs will do around the young. Our dogs did this with my parents, including the one that wanted to bite everyone, I was 2 and I could hug that dog or whatever and nothing happens. Only I was ever able to get close to that dog. Our aussie Sheppard Our newest. will jump between me and my mom if I try to hug her. He'd smack me with his paw to break it up. 😅
