When to Pause or End the Play?

- When you watch your puppy or dog engage in play with another dog, I want you to be aware of your dogs needs.
Pause the Play:
* If one dog is yielding space consistently.
* If one dog is beginning to snap at the other.
*If one dog is looking away or avoiding.
Stop the play:
* If one dog is laying down and does not get up. This is a sign they are tired and you need to stop the persistent or high energy dog.
* If you sense one dog is becoming growly, snappy or less tolerant.
There are some dogs who are unable to stop a persistent puppy as they do not have the size or confidence to do so. Please step in and hold the persistent dogs collar and give the slower dog a chance to choose play or to walk away.
What a great video! I wish I had seen it years ago. Love your commentary.
Super helpful, thank you!

Really good commentary. I would not have picked up on those cues without it.

Are you the author of "no bad dogs?".
@@deborahmcguckian3353 That book was written by Barbara Woodhouse in 1984. My book will be published this winter 2024-2025 and is about the social lives of dogs. Thanks for asking!
you're reading way too deep into two puppies just playing
@@ofir20503 Play is a conversation between two individuals. This conversation is what I am able to interpret for my followers. I bet if you watched this clip a few more times it would make you feel differently. This skill took me years of observation practice with my mentor, suzanneclothier.com/carat/
@@JudyAMooreCBCLLC A true professional would be cautious against attributing too much meaning to individual movements without a broader context.
How can you accurately determine fatigue just from "backing away" without observing other signs like panting, posture changes and etc.
