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.
Dog mouthing behaviors start in the earliest stages of a dogâs life and although many people think that this kind of âhabitâ is only displayed while dogs are in their puppyhood, the truth is that dogs are mouthing throughout their entire lives.
