I love to rough house with my dogs. However, there are rules to make sure everyone is safe. First, you initiate. The dog should not start until you let him know it is okay. Mouthing is allowed as long as he's not biting down. If he bites too hard, all plays should stop. Mind you though, accidental marks will happen. He needs to stop when you tell him to. If he does not, ignore him and be boring. Remember, you control when you play and how rough you play. Always supervise your dog with children. They're very small and accidents can happen. Always stop playing if your dog is being too rough for you. Your dog can learn to play differently with each member of the family.
