Bitey-Face: Many dogs enjoy this rough game, named because they literally grab onto each others faces and necks and bite. Some will growl and/or show their teeth during this play, and many of my human students get concerned when they see Little Princess snarling and grabbing another dog’s cheek fur – or panic when it happens to Little Princess herself! No matter how vicious this play sounds or how much the dogs are displaying “Ugly Face” (eyes narrowed and lips drawn back in a snarl), most of the time this interaction between socialized, friendly dogs is quite harmless.
To determine what’s really going on between the dogs, one has to tune out the sounds and focus on the body language. Are the mouths open with floppy tongues? Are the ears relaxed? Are the body movements of the dogs relaxed and floppy? Are they going down into play-bows (bent front legs) and turning their heads and bodies sideways to the other dogs as they play? Are they trading off who’s on top and who’s on the bottom in their doggie piles? Are they taking brief breaks (even a couple of seconds) inbetween “attacks” on each other? All these are very good signs, and evidence that the interaction going on between the two whirling dervishes is pure play.
If either of the dogs looks tense, is moving stiffly or staring, or of course appears to be trying to get away from the other dog, it may be a good idea to cheerfully intervene and distract them into another activity. Not all dogs like to be mauled by other dogs (though many LOVE it). Also with rough play, sometimes if it goes on too long the two can get over-stimulated or aggravated with each other. It is a good idea to monitor this type of play closely, and if the two dogs aren’t giving themselves breaks regularly, impose brief rest periods on them.
Dogs who know each other well are far more likely to engage in rougher play than two canine strangers. Though puppies are not known for having well-honed social skill
