[Free talk rant] My friends' dog and my dog met a few times this week and play-wrestled. My friends don't realise it's play, get anxious, and yell at the dogs. They blame my dog for being “too playful.” Surprisingly, despite having prior dog parenting experience, they don’t recognise playful behaviour.
Context — Some dogs like play-wrestling, which might look aggressive to newcomers. There's no harm intended or inflicted. I've experienced (accidental) play-biting on my arm, and it's completely painless.
Some people are just weird about that.
We had a dog who would snarl when she played and it was difficult for people to understand that she wasn't being aggressive, she was just a stray at one point and that's just how she was. Miss you Pam 💝
It’s so fun to watch them play hahaha. My other dog parent friends and I enjoy watching them play.
Love you Pam! ❤️
Wrestle your friends to prove your point!
And play-bite them? :P
