Well, did you do anything to annoy your dog like getting in its face? If you did and right after you did that, it bit you and held on while shking his head, its probably FIGHTING But if you like, if you and your dog are outside together and you were chasing your dog, and he bites you and jumps on you, and he lets go hes playing probably

Is your dog wagging its tail? Is he bowing down on his front legs with his tail in the air? Is he smiling? A dog's smile looks much like a human smile or laugh, mouth open with the corners of the lips turned up, and the tongue may be hanging out.

Signs that dogs are playing include loose, bouncy movements, play bows, and vocalizations like playful growls. If the dogs exhibit tense body language, stiff movements, or escalate their behavior despite attempts to diffuse the situation, they may be fighting. It's important to monitor their interactions closely to ensure their safety.

If your mom and her boyfriend just got engaged and you are uncomfortable with them fighting and screaming at each other all the time, you should have a talk with your mom. Tell her how this makes you feel and ask her why she would want to be with someone that she is always fighting with. Tell her that you are not comfortable in your home with the fighting that is going on.
