I have three labs, one 7 month old female and two 5 month olds one male and one female. Ive noticed between the females their play is pretty relaxed but between the older female and the male they tend to play rougher and more intensely; now they do reset often and any growls are always playful and non aggressive but I have noticed they have start to have hierarchical disputes and the older female has picked a pattern of collar pulling. I’m sure this is a habit that should be quickly taught out but I’m unsure how and to what degree should I intervene since I do believe the dogs working out their hierarchical status isn’t inherently a problem.
