My dog used to play with me like that. She'd wrap her jaws around my fist and gnaw (never bearing down), or snap her teeth at my ear (without actually biting it), or pretend to bite my head, or "mouth" my arm (same thing she did with my fist). I called it wrestling. I'd nibble her ear or growl at her and we'd roll around the floor, or chase each other around the house. That was a big dog though. Half German Shepherd, 1/4 Rottweiler, 1/4 Shetland Sheepdog. Basically she was a bushy-tailed shepherd with orange doberman eyebrows.
