Have you ever been accidently been bitten??

Luna was REALLY bad about biting me while we were playing when I first got her, and I have an EXTREMELY low tolerance for nipping and mouthing. So I'd ALWAYS end the game and take the toy with me whenever she would accidently get me, and she learned pretty quickly to control her mouth more carefully. Now, it's rare that she will mouthe me, but she always knows immediately when she does and she backs off as if waiting for me to get up and leave.... but I don't get up and leave anymore, and she is always much more careful afterwards.
Yeah.
Usually in play. I have a nice bruise on my middle finger from yesterday. My finger was in the way of the tug. Mine are similar to Finn though, an "Ouch" out of me and they instantly drop the toy and back away.
I have some pretty nice scars from breaking up dog fights too.
Zen got me with his baby canines right on my cuticle once. I bled like a stuck pig!

Never. I am of the firm belief that dogs are able to have total control over where their teeth hit. I worked for a trainer for a while who frequently said "Dogs don't have accidents with their teeth". I don't go that far in my belief, but I do believe an adult dog is capable of knowing where their teeth are and what they are doing at all times. And I hold them responsible for keeping track of it. Absolute game over for dog if it were to happen. The world has become far to critical of dogs to allow one of mine to bite, accidentally or on purpose.
