Agressive Fighting or Play Fighting??
Hi again all, quick update on wir wonderfull new pups, they're brilliant feeding well, sleeping well, full of energy
My concern or question is with them rough-housing i suppose you would call it, playing rather aggressively, struggling to find much reference to whats acceptable & whats fighting?? xx should i seperate them each time they start being aggressive or distract or let them tussle, i have no idea...

Re: Agressive Fighting or Play Fighting??
At this age it'll be play fighting, so no real need to worry.
However, it's good to teach them to seperate as soon as you tell them so that it's second nature by the time they're older! If you feel the play has gone on long enough, or one (or both) are getting a bit hyper or p*ssed off with the other, then step in & stop them. Doesn't matter what word you use as long as it's the same one every time!

Re: Agressive Fighting or Play Fighting??
It's all play-fighting at that age and learning some boundaries regarding biting. There's no harm in separating when you feel it's getting too out of hand, or if one is pestering the other. Pictures?
