The Boston terrier is a wonderful breed, however, if they are playing rough, that’s definitely something you want to sort out, so today we’re going to be tuning in to a webinar that the k-now behaviorist and founder of Fenrir K9 Leaders, Will, has recorded all about dogs that are playing rough and how to deal with that, so over to you, Will, so here we’ve got a quick-fire webinar for my thoughts and opinions on rough play with dogs.
Rough housing: dogs playing rough with each other; dogs playing rough with humans Just what are my kind of theories, thoughts, and principles on these kinds of issues? whether you’re looking at working in the profession like myself as a canine behaviorist or a dog trainer, or maybe you’re just an inquisitive owner and you really want to understand from a little bit of a high level perspective what these kinds of behaviors mean and how you should think about them now when it comes to dog ownership as a whole, it’s one of those things that has so many different thoughts. opinions and theories on this topic and ultimately and unfortunately as kind of human nature is we often break away into teams and then those teams just spend all time arguing with each other and getting absolutely nowhere how i look at that as an overarching macro level of canine ownership is that for me there are some non-negotiables when it comes to canine ownership after those non-negotiables we then have negotiables things that are subjective to each dif That’s a non-negotiable in terms of communication non-negotiables i think we should make sure that we offer our dogs a wonderful sit stay heal recall that for me keeps the dog safe from itself and safe from others around it if we can teach those things to a dog that’s a non-negotiable i also think that there’s some non-negotiables around manners in terms of a dog shouldn’t jump up humans now There are tons of different examples we can give there, but the one I want to dial in on in this article is rough play. Again, like humans are different, dogs are different.
Some dogs enjoy roughhousing and rough play while others do not. Rough play can go wrong and it can be a wonderful relationship building tool with you and your dog or with dogs in a pack they’ll often sometimes rough play if the non-negotiables are in place and that’s the point I want you to take away from this mini webinar i love roughhousing with my dogs i absolutely love it my wife hates it If you don’t have the ability to stop rough housing and decide when to start and when to stop, you have a fundamental non-negotiable problem in your leadership relationship and communication with your dog.
- If you are in that category, I don’t think rough housing is a good idea with your dog.
- You also need to be able to have that relationship between multiple dogs.
- What allows it to be subjective is that you have the ability to turn it on and off.
If you don’t, you shouldn’t do it because it can get you too far and people can get hurt, but if you have the ability to turn it on and off, you control it, you decide when enough is enough, and you can ensure that everyone involved is safe.
If you don’t want your children roughhousing with the dogs, you have the ability to ensure that never happens.

I was really hoping this article could help me out with my Boston terrier. She plays very rough with other dogs and gets over stimulated very easily- to the point where no commands, treats, physical touch gets her to leave the other dog alone. When she gets corrected by another dog she leaves them alone, but 100% refuses to give that dog her attention and will go and harass another less assertive dog. Would love to know how to get her to understand boundaries with other dogs and when enough is enough.
