One of the most common causes of bites to human faces, especially children, is hugging dogs. Dogs don't really like to be hugged, especially by strangers. Within my own dogs, out of the seven I have thress that really seem to like to be hugged but again only by us. It has also taken a couple of years to build the trust and comfort that a hug is non threatening to them. They ask for the affection now. However, the other four a hug is clearly uncomfortable for them and not an option at all from a stranger. Bond with your dog through training and play, learn what your dog is telling you through body language, everyone will be safer and happier!
