Re: Do you play fight?
We've only play fought with Henry since he was about 3yrs old as he accepted the boundaries then. Any earlier would have been a disaster! He play bows my O.H. and when he gets the right response ie a bow, he launches at him!! Pretends to bite his arm etc although we have to make sure that Cassis is out of the room otherwise she launches at Henry to tell him off. It's the only time Henry will bark at my OH as well. (except when he's (OH) playing with a remote controlled car! Cassis barks at the car while Henry barks at my OH)

Re: Do you play fight?
I tried play fighting with Stanley tonight - he looked at me a bit gone out! He did cross the boundary a bit, but then I stopped, because I want him to learn how far he can go. He seemed a bit puzzled by the whole thing to be honest - I suppose its because Ive never really 'rough and tumbled' with him before, as he has been excitable enough as a puppy as he is. He loves to be chased around though, and when the weather was better I often chased him up and down the garden, 'pretending' to almost catch him...

Re: Do you play fight?
Nicky, with Lola and the lack of ragga try this as it worked with Cara who couldn't figure out how to play tug but now loves the game;
when she has a toy in her mouth take the side of it and give it a gentle tug and shake as if trying to kill it but imitate the growls Lola uses when she plays. I found with Cara this seemed to show her that I was playing and as she got more confident I could pull harder. She now pulls and plays tug like a demented maniac and the noise she makes is unreal, she really throws herself completely into the game; twisting, shaking, pulling and growling like a thing possessed.

Re: Do you play fight?
Heidi loves to play tug and has become so strong lately she managed to pull me and the sofa I was sitting on at the time along the carpet! I am no lightweight and thought my arm was coming out of my socket...lol The best rough and tumble game is when I pretend to be Chinese and say "Haaww Heidi your schnauzer skills are fast, but do you know karate?" She knows this is an invitation for a fight and barks, playbows and kangeroos around and usually tries to pull my socks off my feet, when it all gets a bit much I tell her to get a toy and she calms down (most of the time)

Re: Do you play fight?
Fantastic! Heidi is so adorable I remember that video of her getting various toys for you so I know she'd love that!
And Dannie I'd pay good money to see that, and also that thing where you kiss their noses - sweet!

Re: Do you play fight?
Cassis loves to play tug with Henry. Last summer they were in the garden playing when Henry got tired so he lay down and Cassis pulled him across the grass with the tug toy! (they're both 33kgs)
