TIPS TO ENSURE PROACTIVE
SAFE PLAY
S THE WEATHER WARMS UP TO
MAKE WAY FOR SPRING, PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO BE TAKING THEIR PUPS OUT TO PARKS
AND ON PLAY DATES. HERE ARE A POCKET
FULL OF TIPS ON HOW TO TELL IF PLAY IS
GOING WELL.
1. NECK BITING IN PLAY SHOULD BE
DISCOURAGED. THIS IS OFTEN A
MILD FORM OF BULLYING.
2. LOTS OF TACKLING SHOULD BE KEPT
IN CHECK. BREAK UP PLAY EVERY SO
OFTEN AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE
BOTH TAKING TURNS.
3. DOGS WHO RUN IN A BOUNCY,
ROCKING HORSE MANNER ARE
BEING PLAYFUL. THIS IS GOOD
BEHAVIOR TO SEE.
4. DOGS WHO SEEM STIFF IN THEIR
MOVEMENTS ARE PROBABLY
NERVOUS AND NOT GAME FOR PLAY.
5. SQUINTY EYES ARE INVITING AND
FRIENDLY. THIS IS A GOOD
BEHAVIOR TO SEE.
6. HOWEVER WIDE GLASSY EYES CAN
MEAN OVER AROUSAL AND MAY
NOT BE A GOOD PLAY MATE.
REMEMBER; LIKE A PARENT KEEPING AN
EYE ON THEIR TODDLERS AT THE
PLAYGROUND, BEING PROACTIVE WHEN
YOUR PUPS ARE ON THEIR PLAY DATES
CAN ENSURE THAT THEY ARE HAPPY
AND SAFE THIS SPRING!
