Trainer Cheryl (M.D.T - My Dog Trainer) explaining how to observe and intervene during puppy play.
Healthy puppy play is important because it gives puppies opportunities to learn how to control their strength and adjust their play style through feedback from one another.
Humans donโt always need to step in. We intervene when play becomes unsafe, or when a puppy doesnโt adjust their play after receiving feedback from another puppy (or dog).
Learning to observe play and knowing when to step in is an important part of helping puppies have positive experiences with one another.
