Dogs at play-how it works!

Almost all dogs love to play-by themselves, with other dogs, people, objects and toys. But what do we really know about play? Is it possible that what looks like play is something else entirely? German author Mechtild Käufer presents findings from scores of researchers worldwide who study why dogs play, the benefits they get from play and how to recognize the rules of play that dogs follow to keep their play behaviors fun and safe. For those wanting to research this subject more, the book is thoroughly referenced. There are dozens of photographs included to help illustrate the actions of dogs at play.

Great information on:

  • Self-handicapping measures that dogs employ to keep things fun for all even with dogs of differing size and strength.
  • Benefits that play brings to puppies including increased coordination, cooperation and hunting skills.
  • How to be a better observer to prevent play from turning aggressive, including appropriate measures to take to intervene.
