Find out what annoys your dogs

As we said before, it’s perfectly fine to repeat the process if the interaction didn’t work properly at first, but you should never force the situation because you risk stressing your dogs. So, as you probably know, stress can lead to serious health problems even in animals. 

“Avoid putting your dog in a situation they aren’t ready for. Evaluate your dog’s comfort level in new situations before heading out to a playdate, park, or another area with lots of dogs,” Queen says.

Moreover, according to animal experts, dogs should take some breaks from playtime, and if they don’t, you have to help them by interrupting their activities. “When dogs are playing, look out for a well-mannered play that includes bouncy movements, play bows, and taking turns while wrestling,” said Queen. “Dogs often insert their own breaks in play to keep the intensity level low. You’ll see playing dogs do things like pause, turn away, shake off as if they’re wet, or walk away.”

Don’t forget that it’s important to know your dog breed as well and do some research. You should find out their native personality traits, as some dog breeds are docile by nature and then your training techniques will be applied more easily, while other breeds simply can’t get along with other dogs because this is their predominant feature.
