Ethnographic accounts, classic and contemporary, are both descriptive and interpretive; descriptive, because detail is so crucial, and interpretive because the ethnographer must determine the significance of what he or she observes without gathering broad, statistical information.
Mouthing is when a dog puts his teeth and mouth over a personâs skin while using little or no pressure from his jaw. Itâs not to be mistaken for aggressive biting, which is done out of fear or frustration.
When puppies are biting and nipping each other it only stops when one puppy lets out a yelp. We can use this natural way dogs learn by letting out an Ouch! or an Arrr! every time one of our puppy's bite. The trick is to startle your dog with your voice, and then pull away and stop playing with your puppy for a while.
