Ask Free Dogs – Is My Dog Just Playing?

08/21/2007 3:40:00 AM

Nicola says she recently brought home a second dog for her son-a lab cross around 1year old. She is concerned because he and her 5 year old german shepard cross (probably crossed with a lab)

…get on fine most of the time but they will start fighting, not aggressively, as there tails are wagging and one will get the other on the floor, but they will nudge at each other and Shadow( the lab) will nibble at Minty( the german shepard) and sort of nibble at his back and ears and they do get a bit boystous they will growl as they are doing this but it doesn’t seem an aggressive growl as though they were going to attack ( or as they would if someone was at the door) is this anything to worry about and how can i stop it from happening or are they just playing, thanks

Nicola,
It sounds to me as if you have two dogs that get along just fine. They should learn to chill if you tell them to stop, though. You wouldn’t want them to knock the baby over once he starts toddling if they get too carried away and don’t see him nearby. I send my two girls outside when they start goofing off that much and they learned pretty quickly that “outside” means you better stop rough housing inside and head for the doggy door.

I thought I was going to be the victim of a sheepdog hit and run, but he screeched to a halt just in time to keep from toppling me over the edge of a cliff. Look how joyful he looks bounding toward me.
