TOO MUCH INTERACTION

Once you have befriended a onceunfamiliar Dog, you should also consider that there is such a thing as too much interaction. Some Dogs can easily become hyperactive when attention is given to them, and they may end up engaging their new friend in a bit of rough play. It’s like how puppies have mock fights.

Aside from the concerns about mouthing and nipping, if you have a large Dog becoming excited, that rough play can leave one disheveled, or even with minor scratches and bruises. It’s best to keep calm and set up boundaries even then.
