DOGS AT PLAY: at dog parks, day care or your neighborhood

Trainer Robin Bennett is co-author of Off-Leash Dog Play: A Complete
Guide to Safety & Fun, a consultant to doggie day cares, and developer
of a website that educates pet professionals about dog safety. So, who better
to explain how dogs communicate with each other (and us) when playing? Robin
will show videos of dogs at play, while pointing out polite and rude greetings,
breed-specific play styles, social gestures, and emotional states. You will
learn how dogs say “back off” or “I don’t want to be here”; how dogs feel if a
fight breaks out nearby or a new dog wants to join in; how to tell if dogs are
just playing hard or bordering on aggression. She will give advice on how to
choose the best day care; when it’s time to leave the dog park; and, most
importantly, how to keep your dog safe at play.
