Hello! My puppy had a play date with another dog, and the owner of the other dog knows a few dogs in the area. Anyway one dog came to us, and he was a bit bigger than mine and played a bit rough. Anyway my pup (8 months old) gave one loud bark which felt like HEY too rough and I called her to me and she came to me between my legs to chill for a bit and went back around the other dogs to just sniff about and she went back between my legs after a while and then went back (still trying to play with the rougher dog). Then we left. To me it seemed a healthy behavior to communicate her boundaries. It’s the first time she does that. But I think it’s good? And of course, I try to control the play better next time, but she was still very keen to play with the other dog. Thoughts?
