A couple of pretty big breakthroughs! Firstly Gatsby has finally started actively instigating play with Piglitt! (It sounds savage but they're both very vocal!) Gatsby is very much a solo operator and doesn't tend to engage in play with other dogs, it's certainly rare that he instigates it!
Piglitt is doing really well to learn his cues too, when he's done, she listens and gives him space! It's important (especially with puppies) that we 'police the play' though, starting by interrupting it and rewarding, making the interruption worth listening to! We've been working on a whistle recall too so this worked really well!

Teaching self control though play! It's a work in progress but Gatsby is slowly getting it!
He loves nothing more than playing tug and gets really amped up! 💪
Here we're trying to encourage him to relax in between play by reinforcing a 'mutually exclusive behaviour' (the settle). Notice how he switches from a 'down' position and ready to pounce into a more relaxed (legs out to the side) position which we then mark with a "YES" and reward by continuing play!
Playing tug with your dog is ace and contrary to popular belief, does not encourage aggressive behaviour!
Get in touch to learn how to play with your dog properly, fulfilling their needs, giving them an outlet for natural dog behaviour and channelling their energy into training!
