healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2021/05/10/how-to-get-my-dogs-to-play-together.aspx Story at-a-glance A report published recently in the journal Animal Cognition suggests that dogs are much more likely to play with other dogs when their owners are present and offering them attention Among the explanations offered by the researchers is that an owner’s presence and attention might give dogs a sense of security in the event the play becomes too intense Another theory is that the presence of the owner might trigger the release of oxytocin, the “love hormone,” putting dogs in a more positive, playful mood When your dog is playing with another dog, it’s important to understand that normal play has no winners or losers — there’s a healthy, balanced back-and-forth between the dogs Signs of potentially dangerous play include one-sided intensity or aggressiveness, grabbing and shaking, and raised hackles My notes: This makes sense as dogs want to please us so badly.
