Dogs use their mouths an awful lot – their mouths help them make sense of the world around them. Most of the time, they’ll use their mouths for harmless purposes, but dogs can bite people and other dogs too. 

All dogs are potentially capable of biting, regardless of breed or temperament. Even if your dog has the best dog toys and their favorite treats, they could still bite.
