Sounds good.

And NO, people don't get that teaching, nor do their kids. I had a Chow who was a defensive biter & you would not believe how many people would insist on trying to pet him. I once had my dog sitting at the vet's office waiting for our appt. when a couple of young kids burst through the door followed by their haggard mother. One of them ran straight up to my Chow wanting to hug the "teddy bear." If I hadn't held his mouth shut I have no doubt that kid would have received a nasty bite to the face. He knew the "out" & "look at me" commands, but we were backed into a corner with nowhere to go. I purposely chose the back of the waiting room b/c I knew he was a defensive biter. But trouble still found us. So beware.
