Remember they are dogs. When you show your teeth that is a sign of aggression. Dogs respond more so to body language and voice tones .

@Easygoing1 I don't actually have dogs, cats in my case. Though baring teeth being aggressive is true to most animals, I don't bare teeth in my smiles anyhow. :P I think it's an almost-subconscious part of trying to be consciously non-threatening.
