When Buster was still a puppy and his girlfriend was about six months older they were wrestling and playing bitey face, with plenty of vocalisations, in a park. As Buster was a collie Staffie cross and Chilli was a brindle Staffie me and her owner got accused of allowing a dog fight and threatened with police and RSPCA. We laughed and told the guy who was lecturing us to look at the dogs instead – he turned around and you should see the look on his face – the two youngsters were taking a break, laying next to each other and licking each others faces! Play style often changes with age – puppies and adolescents often wrestle a lot, whilst more mature dogs might prefer calmer play
You just know when dogs are fighting…its faster…its louder…it has no pauses….if you still dont know you've never seen a dog go after another dog…its one of those things that you just know when animals are attacking each other…
My dog acts a fool and lets out the most outrageous sounds that scare the humans around him, but rarely upsets the dog he’s with. I’m working with him to make sure he exhibits more acceptable behavior in the future. I’ve never seen my dog not pause during even the craziest play, and if the other dog gets upset, my dog will often show the dog his belly. He exhibits all of the play signs, but gets a little rough.
This is great info! Thank you! Would love to see if a dog is starting to get aggressive tho. My female pit is very vocal when playing and sometimes gets picky about what other dogs she wants to play with.
I mainly watched this to ensure the way my pups were playing was ok because one is a year younger and a few pounds bigger. They play just like he described. I’m still going to watch them at all times, but this helps keep me at ease. My pups do everything together (nap, eat, walk, play) so I just want to make sure they’re both happy
If a dog is fighting for real, you’d see bloodshed.
No tips on how to tell if it really is a fighy
your a fraudl
My darn dog is always playing, and the other dog thinks she's fighting 🤦♀️
She was found as a stray, and doesn't seem like she was socialized as a puppy.
She shows fighting AND playing signs together. She is overly excited with any dog, and lunges right at them and snaps. If she is held back and allowed to calm down, then she plays normally. 🫠
My two pups play like video, both make the weirdest vocalizations. One will sound like a constipated cave troll and the other will squeak like she’s trying to kill her opponent with echolocation. Good to know it’s just dogs being dogs though lol, since they always end up sharing running and chasing and have those little pauses as well
This new dog my aunt got fights with every dog/cat she sees
I have my 7 year old shitzu ,Balu, and my 1 1/2 year old golden doodle ,Snoopy. Snoopy is pretty hyper and playful, while Balu is not. Balu would bark at Snoopy for running around the house and chase him . It took Balu a while to get used to Snoopy. Recently, i noticed they started "playing" but i think only Snoopy sees it that way. Balu would bark, growl, and chase Snoopy but he didnt have any of that "bouncy" body language so I'm not sure if he enjoys it like Snoopy does.
I'm struggling with my 8 month old labrador dog.
He has quite a few behaviour issues including food aggression, timidness of humans and eating his own poo.
We are working on the above issues but just lately, as he has grown in confidence the regular dogs that he meets he has started snapping into the air while playing, he likes to be chased and to chase but regardless of which he is doing he does this snapping thing and when they stop playing he is doing it in other dogs faces.
Is this something he will grow out of? Or is there a reason dogs do this?
My dog is loud n boisterous while playing but when she means business she’s very quiet.
I really wanted to make sure that I wasn’t encouraging inappropriate behaviors, while at the same time letting my dogs be dogs .
My two Belgian Malinois always make aggressive sounds when they play with each other. I don’t mind at all. No issue
How do I know when my dogs are playing too rough? I have a husky (Aloy) and lab (Apollo), and I think Aloy is playing too rough, chasing after Apollo or biting at the top of his head/neck/lips. Apollo hasn't seem too bothered, and actively participates in the chasing, even instaging it. He's very patient with her and is used to her style of play, but I'm worried if she ever meets new dogs. I know they're playing and not fighting, but im worried about a fight starting or one of them getting hurt, just due to how rough they play
If so, do you have any tips to help redirect her, I've tried using treats to direct her attention, but she hyperfixates and won't pay attention, the only way I can get her to stop is spraying her with the hose, but I don't feel that's effective long term
Ok this is great
I heard once that a good way to tell if dogs are just playing is if they're making exaggerated movements, like the ones you described in the video.
My two smaller chihuahua mixes play pretty rough and it can get pretty loud. This video has helped
@dunbaracademy do you have ant tips on how to tell if a dog may be aggressive or playing while they are already running toward you. For example if I were taking out the trash to the curb and then I turn and notice that my neighbors dog across the street is already running right at me when I notice the dog.
this is such an informative video! sometimes my two boxers genuinely sound like they’re in a fight to the death, but that whole tip of taking away the noise really helps to determine the actual nature of the situation. super well done and very concise :]
I have a pit hound mix and a pit boxer mix, and their favorite game together is what I call biteyface. Also combined with a good wrestle, and maybe a little session of steal the other dog's toy, and they sleep together happy as can be. It sounds awful and looks like they're about to tear each other limb from limb, but nope. They just play hard.
Thanks
The best video on this topic and great pace to it. Thanks! 🙏
I am a bit confused. My dog got in to a scuffle with a smaller dog. he was doing bouncy type movements and he did not seem to growl or snarl but the other dog did hide behind the owner, so was it a play or fight?
I have two whippets, and sometimes the play starts fine but escalates quickly. They are so fast that it’s difficult to get their attention once they are in a 30mph tornado.
