yeah - also not a dog expert - but yawning, turning the head to the side and even a few air snaps does not mean the dog will bite. Yes, they are doggy warnings - but just that - warnings. A snap is almost a good thing, the dog is able to tell you "get out of my face" without biting.
I also get trying again, and it still not working......
But after that there is no way I would get another dog.
I think repeatedly getting rid of pets is a horrible thing to do to children. Not only are giving them something to love and then taking it awy from them, but you are teaching them pets are disposable.
