Puppy Socialization: Playtime For Puppies And Permissions

[@sallyherndon3258]

Very helpful. I like the play sessions being interrupted with good games with me. Your dogs play with each other. Many of my friends that I train with have multiple dogs. I have a solo Labrador Retriever puppy who is 6 months and I am doing Crate Games and Recallers. She has her AKC STAR but loses it when she sees the dogs/puppies I have let her play with. Tring to walk it back and being more intentional. My goals are CGC and Therapy dog, great family pet who loves hiking, camping, swimming and possibly being in a boat with me.

I would really, really, really love to learn more about good dog play behavior in adult dogs. I take my dog to the dog park every morning (he's a pitty mix) and I really want him to be properly socialized, but I also want to be aware of when to break things off when they're getting too intense. What signs can I look out for before things get to be too much? And how does the humping behavior come into play? I would payyyyyyy to learn this info Susan! And to learn about your opinions about dog parks and pros/cons in this area. I know you want the trainer to be the one giving the dog the exercise, but a lot of people rely on dog parks for their dogs exercise in urban settings. This would be really helpful for a lot of people I'm sure!

I have a rescue dog around 1yr old. She loves other dogs and is one that will lunge on leash to go meet other dogs. She doesn't know the proper way to meet dogs. How would I start to teach her how to meet other dogs without her going cray cray as soon as she sees one? Thanks for what you do!

I've always been told to take off the collar if dogs are playing together. Do you think there's any risks when dogs play with collars on?

How do I socialize my puppy if he is an enthusiastic player?

First off I love your podcast ! It’s so awesome ! I have been having trouble with 2 of my puppies ! I do have 2 Australian Shepards that are 1 month apart from age and are siblings (same male stud) but my male zeus (1 year old) keeps attacking my female luna (11 month old) and I know they are playing but it gets to the point where my female squeals! We are just playing fetch outside and she runs for the ball and he just goes directly to her and grabs her from the neck and pulls aggressively ! He does so ALOT please help !

I started puppy class with my Siberian puppy when he was 14 weeks. He was over aroused and we had to complete the class in the corner by ourselves so he could function and not be jumping and lunging. I then went to a positive reinforcement trainer (when he was 5 months old) who showed me how to keep him at a distance and move back until he would listen to me when he seen people or dogs. Labeled him "leash reactive" and he may never be able to be near other dogs. He is 8 months now and I continue to work on his focus with me but, have let him get near a couple of family and friends adult dogs. He is not aggressive, just a crazy puppy. He play bowed and jumped around. (we were on leash) Can you do a podcast on how to get your puppy able to be near another dog and calm? I have been so depressed since this trainer labeled my dog and feel like I lost all my hopes and dreams of any competing with him in the future.

Great episode. Any tips if we are at the stage where our dog wants to greet every dog he sees?

Hi Susan, someone I know has a new puppy German Shepherd. He was very playfull and happy. Unfortunately the puppy has been bitten by a Jack Russell and his behaviour has completely changed. He barks and snapps at other dogs now, also the adult ones. What can I advise her: to seek contact with a professional dog trainer? I am worried about this little puppy. Bye, Anneke

My puppy is big and confident. She plays with my older dog and needs help to calm down from time to time. How can I help her learn to play appropriately with other less confident or smaller dogs?
