I love my packs! Even the small ones, there is never a moment wasted when you get to take a new dog on a structured hike with just one other seasoned pack member! What a gorgeous day working on play behaviour and impulse control.
We're just thrilled to have @flokitheadventuredog join our pack. He's such a gem 💕

How often are your dogs "playing great" until sudd

How often are your dogs "playing great" until suddenly "out of nowhere" a fight breaks out?
Time and time again we see dogs who otherwise get along famously, losing their tempers and escalating play to the point of either a stern telling off, or a fight!
-
It doesn't have to be that way. Your dog doesn't "suddenly" decide to duke it out with their playmate. Maybe your dog's communication is stunted, their playmates too!
-
DID YOU KNOW: Dogs can learn respectful play, the same way you teach them 'sit'! Teaching your dog respectful and mindful play communication helps with their overall well-being, it's not just about play. It greatly decreases your dog's likelihood of altercation and reactivity in life just by monitoring and encouraging empathetic play. All dogs, of any age and breed, can learn what comes natural to them. This isn't a trick, it's simple guidance. These are things all dogs do naturally, on their own.
-
Dogs can finish play in one of two ways:

1. Communication, Trust, and Understanding, which leads to confident, self assured, and even tempered dogs. There are many more subtle cues that dogs give eachother to start or stop play, I teach "Shake out!" As it's the most easily identifiable when dogs are highly stimulated.
OR
2. With zero understanding of communication, where you see the explosion of energies until one dog is SO frustrated that they feel they *have* to tell the other one off, which can escalate to a fight.
-
This could well have happened in the first example in this video if it wasn't for the trust the smaller one has in me that I'll keep her safe no matter what, and that step two after shaking out (ie. Saying "that's Enough" to the other dog)is to come to me. I want all my dogs to see me as the stop-gap. It's not their responsibility to teach another dog manners.
-
When dogs learn to trust eachother, and show that they're trustworthy by speaking the same language, everyone benefits, animal and human! We love to see and ALWAYS encourage a good "shake out!" behaviour in our packs.
