- Dr. Ian Dunbar Bite Scale
  
  It's common for dogs to "bite" occasionally. This could be by accident while playing or taking treats, but we'd still like to know the extent of your dog's bite history in order to evaluate your dog's bite inhibition. If your dog has a known history of nipping or biting, it is your responsibility as a dog owner to be upfront and honest.
- Level 1.
  
  Obnoxious (perhaps playful) or aggressive behavior but no skin-contact by teeth.
- Level 2.
  
  Skin-contact by teeth but no skin-puncture. However, may be skin nicks (less than one tenth of an inch deep) and slight bleeding caused by forward or lateral movement of teeth against skin, but no vertical punctures.
- Level 3.
  
  One to four punctures from a single bite with no puncture deeper than half the length of the dog’s canine teeth. Maybe lacerations in a single direction, caused by victim pulling hand away, owner pulling dog away, or gravity (little dog jumps, bites and drops to floor).
- Level 4.
  
  One to four punctures from a single bite with at least one puncture deeper than half the length of the dog’s canine teeth. May also have deep bruising around the wound (dog held on for N seconds and bore down) or lacerations in both directions (dog held on and shook its head from side to side).
- Level 5.
  
  Multiple-bite incident with at least two Level 4 bites or multiple-attack incident with at least one Level 4 bite in each.
- According to the bite scale above, what level has your dog reached with you or others while biting or nipping?*
