Our dogs wrestle, play bitey face, chase and tug of war. It’s one of the main reasons I wanted another dog, for companionship for Sampson.

My collie has a fear of other dogs, which I am working really hard to overcome (and hoping that our current change of events won’t set him back massively!) however the other day I took him with me to meet some lovely collies and the three of them played together. It brought a tear to my eye to see him chase around the field after these other dogs without a care in the world!

I think your right, watching dogs play together is not only great for them but good for our souls!

The two girls love to play fetch together….they have a cute routine where Sheba passes off the ball to Cricket who then brings it to me. But other than that, they don’t wrestle or play tug of war or anything like that since they have gotten older.

Dog play is something usually missing for us…Gizmo best pals are much larger than he is and while they do play chase, real wrestling and bitey face aren’t suitable…His favorite dog play is when he gets to lead the trail hike, showing off all he’s learned about the forest like where the armadillos are hiding (he never forgets) Sometimes I wish he had a similar size friend to play with but so far we haven’t found one

Like those ‘conditions’ of dog play…Definitely should be posted at every dog park. Particularly the bit about the owner paying attention. Looks like your dog play worked well for all involved however!!

What is doggie gladiators? Sounds like a fun game. Despite having two dogs, Maya & Pierson don’t play together often. Pierson is too dominant and Maya is too submissive. So when Pierson gets a too rough in a game, which is almost always immediately, Maya stops playing.

Play can be the best exercise! Poor Ike tries to play with Kelly, and she tries but she gets too anxious and ends up barking at him and scaring him. I’d like to find him a friend to play with!

We used to go to the dog beach, but don’t really go anymore (after The Worst Walk We Ever Took). But we still like to work in play to Rita’s routine, so now instead once a week we go visit her boxer friend. They have a fabulous time playing! And then we all go for a long walk together. Every other week we try to schedule play with Rita’s cousin, Reggie. She loves to play – but now I like to be sure she only plays with dogs (and owners!) I know.

One of the big benefits of fostering for me is having another dog for Frankie to play with. He loves his big, blokey, boy Greyhounds. It’s so good for them too as they learn to play hard and fast with something that isn’t a Greyhound as most of them probably haven’t ever interacted with anything else. I have to say the only extra exercise I get from this is following them around with a camera 🙁

One of the local store owners has a dog that she takes to work and that dog gets along wonderfully with Mr. N. They wrestle and chase and body slam each other. I don’t know if I get any exercise out of it though. I usually have to stand very still because they like to play around my feet and I don’t want to step on one of them.
