What a happy week here at Dogs Play Centre, as you can see all pooches are so happy giving me their best smiles for the camera 📸 🐾😁

Miley was being very flirtatious with Mary and wanted his morning kisses and chest scratches! He enjoyed them a lot🥰💙

Did you know, dog to dog interactions are just as important as dog to human interactions…
Dog to dog interactions prevent undesirable behaviours such as reactivity and stress.
Human to dog interactions can reduce cortisol (stress hormone) as well as provide a safe base when the dog feels scared or unsure. It can also build the dog’s confidence up when having interactions with your dog🐶☺️🥹

Never forget to give your wonderful pooches CUDDLES 🥰 🐾💞
