ABC Dogs NZ always has the good stuff!!
I’ve seen videos of other daycares where two large dogs are chasing one smaller dog. The caption read something along the line of the dogs having “fun”, but only two out of three dogs were enjoying the game. It’s important to know what to look out for during a play session and manage it appropriately.

Sometimes certain videos pop up....
Showing a dog having the "time of their life" with another dog.
⚠️ They are NOT playing.
No matter what the comments say, no matter what others really wish to see OR they may truly believe that they are watching dogs play.
Interactions are intricate....individual and VERY misread.
If we continue to misread play or don't recognise issues in play, it can cause those "out of the blue" incidents.
The ones we just didn't see coming.
Dogs can easily fall into patterns of inappropriate play with others.
It all comes down to body language and one of the most important things to do is watch BOTH dogs.
We tend to concentrate on one or the other and that is where we can miss those subtilties.
Couple of videos in the comments about play and how to recognise good play...and "play" that is problematic.
