Dogs bite for many reasons. Dogs, like people, have their own temperament. Some breeds of dogs may be more or less inclined to have an easy disposition. Even within a breed there can be great variability. Terriers can be feisty dogs. They are often quite pain-resistant and so are not really afraid of being bitten back (by dogs). Terriers can be very smart dogs, and can easily be trained not to bite but as with all dogs this training is best started when they are puppies. Many dogs, even terriers, never bite. It is extremely unacceptable to have a dog that is not safe around people and it is up to the owner to make sure that their dog is trained properly. How a dog is trained and raised and the environment a dog lives has great impact on its inclination to bite. Reasons a dog might bite: Perhaps it was not trained NOT to bite. Was the dog taunted by the owner? Was the owner playing with the dog, in which case the dog may have gotten overexcited? Was the dog in pain... did it have an injury or is it perhaps arthritic? Dogs that feel threatened or are in pain may be more inclined to try and protect themselves.
