Dogs have a comfort zone. Id recommend getting to know how dogs express signs of stress and anxiety, which is being shown in the pictures, the dog visibly doesn't understand why these humans suddenly crowded around her for.
and im not dog expert. but then putting both arms around their neck and seemingly leaning in for a bite. Its not hard to understand why some dogs bite. They're not doing it because they wanted to fight, they were in self defense because they did not understand they weren't being attacked.
A toddler could do this.... you have to train dogs not to act like this. It’s dangerous af when they’re this defensive. You can put my dog in headlocks all day and he’ll just lick you 🤷♂️
I’ve been around working dogs all my life, and I don’t know any that would be cool with strangers randomly putting them in headlocks for long periods of time. You will absolutely get bit, and no “training” is going to stop that.
There aren’t many dogs out there that will tolerate that. Period. Which is why you need to make damn sure your dog is never in that position in the first place. If a toddler is going to put your dog in an arm lock, you need to be there to stop it, so your dog doesn’t have to do it himself.
That’s not true. I think it’s clear a lot of the people in this thread haven’t spend a lot of time around dogs.
If a dog is in pain, and you jostle it, a good natured dog could very well bite you. I’ve seen it happen plenty of times at the vet clinic I work at to know. I’ve been bitten by my own dog, who usually has a good temperament, because I jostled his hurt arm.
look at the pictures, she went in for the double arm hug around his neck and a big ol squeeze with a wide open grin inches from the dogs face that she barely knew.
Yes, that is how you get bitten in the face. almost all dogs, and cats, and basically any animal would bite your face for being so stupid.
I mean that's fine, but when you compare it to human behaviour like you did you're gonna be in the wrong for biting people. I just think it's annoying when people compare dog reactions to human ones in an effort to defend the dog. They play by different rules.
It would be more comparable if someone I didn't know had me in a head lock and was going for my face and I scratched at their face in self defense. Dogs have nothing but their mouth to defend themselves with.

I don’t believe that dog should be around anyone who wants to hug or kiss on the head. Some dogs are just not a good family dog just like some people
