Mine All Mine - Dog On Dog Interaction

Dogs interacting with dogs is a good way of burning energy and having fun, plus learning lessons on the parts of the dogs involved. My own Earl and Ethel are mad on playing together, and especially enjoy a good rough and tumble, plus a tug on a toy. The latter just has to be their very favourite. When outdoors or in, they're at it again.

I always like to image what is going on in their canine language as they tug for the possession of the toy. Of course, all interactions are fun and safe, under my 100% supervision, however there is always an element of fun competition. Who will end up with the item?

So, I have come up with a fun little demonstration of what goes on when dogs are playing and interacting, and what I would expect them to be saying and thinking whilst interacting with one another. 

So you now see how fun dog on dog interactions and play sessions are. They are also, as demonstrated be me here (hehe...) entertaining to watch. You can also learn a lot about the body language of dogs through watching them interact. Many modern day trainers and behaviourists watch dogs and study their real life interactions, to help them learn more about their furry subject. The amazing canine!

Interacting like this also helps dogs get their required exercise, and keep fit, healthy and happy. A good game works the muscles, and tires the dog mentally, also. Tugging strategies are also a good mental workout. It is enjoyable, and beneficial, as long as interaction is supervised.
