I’m going to be away for a few days teaching a seminar on Self Control and Frustration Tolerance in Italy, so I thought I’d leave you with this video of Riley and Cooper playing at home.

What do you think of their play styles? Do they understand each other fully? Are they both enjoying this equally?

I’m going to be writing about play, our interpretations of body language, and dog:dog interactions in the future but in the meantime I hope you enjoy the video. The focus improves after a few seconds.

PS. I had the radio on in the background and youtube made me remove the sound because of copyright issues. This means you miss the vocalisations, which makes a difference in describing and analysing what you see.
