When your dog plays with his mouth open, it's called mouthing or jaw sparring.

This is a healthy way for a dog to play with other dogs.

Mouthing mimics an actual fight, but without the serious biting.

They will mouth at each other's face and neck when fighting, sometimes while standing or on the ground.
