Play Fighting

Walter and Poppy playing

Walter and Poppy get along really well. He’s one of the first dogs Walter met at the park several months ago. His owner is really nice and she comes around the time I get there, so our dogs see each other all the time. Poppy’s one of the few that runs with Walter. When they play fight, they take turns pinning the other. They enjoy chewing ears and tails.

The dogs in the small dog area get to play fight a lot more than the ones in the big side. Once in a while a dog will bite a little too hard, but they always release when they hear a squeal. In the big dog area, the owners are really nervous and I think their dogs sense it. The owners there are too quick to break things up, so those dogs don’t get a chance to learn how far they can go. I think that’s a big reason why there are so many dog fights over there.
