Excellent thread. As I menntioned before, my family raised Pits in the past, so I knew to not encourage biting of any kind, at all, unacceptable behavior.

As for gloves, I personally cannot see a reason for it, I happen to be of the personality thag I must have a reason for something or I don't do it, so they have not been an option.

Tabitha has experienced two "taps" on the nose, both were mouthy situations, it seemed to have stoped it, no a siple "NO" usually does the trick.

I was having a chat with a friend yesterday about dog training in general and do's and don'ts. The topic of shaking your finger in front of the dogs face came up as a "don't" I had never really thought about it as I don't do it. Any thoughts on that topic?
