She explained that when dogs are with other dogs playing, They bite each other to show dominance not to hurt each other. Well I reluctantly tried it.... But it worked!! She got the point right away, I think I only had to do it twice

I'd also like to add the "biting" technique above to Ladymom's suggestions of what not to do...
