New dog rough play

Post by vanerodrigues953 »

Hi yall!
My name is vanessa and i just found this forum while i was reserching on how to deal with my new dog play behaviour.
2 weeks ago we adopted a staff/sharpei mix, Simba, to join our resident dog a yellow lab caled saphira. They got along really nice with just one or two minor fights. The big problem with him now his how he plays with saphira. Until now i allways watched the way they played and is a mixed of bow fights, growling,play bite, etc. I have noticed him grabbing saphira's neck and i allways though that was ok. But today i just discovered two puncture wounds on either side of saphira neck. Its not aggresive behaviour from simba and saphira still continues to want to play with him,but he got me worried as i d'ont want to see saphira hurt. Is anything i can do to adjust his play behaviour? Any advises?
Thank you :)
