I dont have a pit question but my dobie is close enough anyways well, he doesnt grab at my hand much anymore. he was neutered friday....(yes....so late...-_- he's already a yr.) I just have a little question for as long as i can remember having him and training him a little. I ask him to sit he sits right, but he smacks his lips or i dont know how to explain it its not a snap at me but he like licks is lips in a big motion that looks like a smack ive read dobie books and I never find anything on this i never heard of it anywhere actually what is he doing? I always thought he does it because he doesnt like to be told what to do. everytime i say sit or hey! calm down and sit since i use sit alot to prevent troubles i see him do that but if he is sitting for a treat oh he never does that i guess since he wants a treat he decides he wants to sit and stay and balance treat on nose thats my question thanks for reading

Could be stress related lip smacking.

I see no harm in it. Just be sure he only does it when you tell him to sit, because otherwise a tooth or his mouth could be bothering him! But I agree sounds like he is eager to get that treat!!!!

PaulJ, since your question is completely unrelated to this thread, I've started a new thread for you in Issues, under the heading, "Britains Dangerous Dogs Act". The link I posted there may be of benefit to you.
