test again The dog's name is ladyjane, it knows better but still acts in a manner that has been discouraged. If religion is not to be discussed, why do you want to know the name to pray?
Moving on...
There is a lot of information posted yet is waiting for moderators to approve of the posting. The dog bit me when I went to take it outside the first time. The second time was when I went to pick it up an play with it. The third was when I put my hand down to move a blanket on the couch when I wanted to sit down and it charged me and bit me.
As far as kids and dogs go, my first dog - who also will remain nameless - was a mutt given to me on the farm. She would walk around me in circles to keep hogs away when I went in the pens to check my stock (I was an entrepreneur at a young age of 10). This dog would allow you to walk up and take a treat out of her mouth and give you the look like "hey, I was going to eat that but you must have a good reason" and my infant nephew would grab tufts of hair and crawl all over her. My aunt was over at one point and made repeated comments about how the dog was going to nip - but my pup would only use her teeth on kibble and bones. I walked over and told the dog to open her mouth and "let me see" - which she did and I stuck my hand in there and grabbed her tongue and wouldn't let go. This always pissed her off, but she slapped my hand with her paw and gave me that look like "jerk - you know I don't like that." and walked away.
No dog have I ever trained or worked with has bitten me other than puppy love or me sticking my hand in their mouths TRYING to get them to bit me to show off they wouldn't do it.
Everyone has a difference of opinions on everything, but KALINA82's post is exactly what I'm here for. If those reading and keeping up with this thread would read this post and offer suggestions or alternatives if they see a difference of opinion to the routine, that will give me a proper base to work off of and alternatives should the schedule or ideas need to be tweaked.
I'm here to make life better and learn too - I'm not a master dog trainer and I don't consider myself a master of my business trade either...a master has nothing left to learn.
