rough play = scars and bleeding (pics)

Ivy gets way to rough when her and sheen are playing she bites his cheeks an drags an pulls him by them this is the damage shes done i stop her as soon as i see her grab him but i need to no is there any way to stop it ? because he has cuts scabs an scars on his cheeks now the poor little man he just lets her do it and doesnt even seem to mind but its not the point its not on is it   

O gosh that looks sore, I'm sorry I don't gave any experience as I only have one dog, I am sure someone will be along soon to help you

Not had 2 dogs either so not much help, does look nasty though   

that look bad!! you have to became boss and that behavior isn't acceptable.

Oh dear, that is a bit OTT would you want them to play with other dogs like this ??

its bad isnt it do you think it will all scar ? They just normally play like any other dog he snaps his jaw at her but doesn't touch her but she grabs his cheeks and pulls she even drags him along the floor by them ! she just thinks shes playing though how can i get her to understand its bad ?

by being consistent with her if she go over the top you tell her off if she carrys on you place her in an naughty spot till your happy she been punish enough that how i train my dogs, my billy drags my sam around by his skin never leave mark like that-

it only happens when they're out and playing off the lead so i wont be able to use the naughty spot they dont do it in the house just when they're out running around and also she doesnt do it to any other dog just him

ok get her on the lead till she calm down every time does it put her on the lead and walk by your side without pulling

ill give it a try thanks steve to be honest i think that should help because shes really excited when they're play fighting

tell how thing get on

Great advise above - we spend ages supervising ours and a good, strong "enough!" now does the trick when they get over excited during play. They've learnt it's unacceptable and just don't let it get that far, or rather, we don't ever let it get too far. The "enough" came with consistency and patience. Good luck!

The enough works for us too but in a different manner, we only have darcy but I allow rough play and a firm enough gets her attension and she stops so perhaps that could help too, poor sheen, have you any sudocrem to put on it?

Good advice above. Our 2 used to do this in the house when they were little - Lola would pull Chloe round by her cheek - ouch!! It has stopped as they've got older. They 'air-snap' at each other now but not the really rough stuff.

cheers for input guys and yes i out sudocreme on it every night    

yip got to agree ott when we first got phoebe she used to go straight for beaus face in play but like others have said but in my case like others it was the words enough or if she didn't then no and a bit of patients. beau took a lot from her at first but he did start to tell her off usually by grabbing her by her ear and pinning her to the ground or just trailing her by her ear along the ground
