"They will sort it out ".⚠️
I am all for letting dogs communicate with each other.
However, some dogs simply don't have the ability to know when to stop or when their style of play is just unwanted.
The dog that is being held back and is bursting with energy, straining and screeching on the lead because it really wants to play with yours is not the dog to choose if you want to introduce your dog to healthy dog/dog play.
Over aroused/hyper dogs will usually run at other dogs full speed and insist on interactions. They are incapable of watching the cues dogs can give.
They want what they want and they want it NOW !

Then you have the pesterers, they just insist on interactions even after being told no by another dog.
Some dogs "play" by insisting it is on their terms and they will certainly bully others.
Be careful who you choose to pair your dog with.
Once they understand the basics of play and have some understanding of social interactions you can slowly expand who they may want to play with.
It can be good for dogs to play with other dogs with different play styles, it helps both dogs BUT match the energy and play styles first so they get a true understanding of HOW to play.
Keep the interactions shorter rather than longer.
Smaller plays often allow dogs to read each other better.

Very proud of this trio. They had a wonderful weekend at Victoria County dog show this past weekend.

Merlot won Best of Breed, best puppy in breed and Select twice.
Holly and Rey both won best baby puppy in breed on the days they were shown. Special thanks to Cindy for skillfully taking Holly in the ring on Sunday to her win.

All the dogs throughly enjoyed the show and it was nice to have so many visitors from the community come by to find out about dog shows and differ breeds. It was a very well organized event. Thank you to all the members of the kennel club for your hard work putting it on.
