In my past experience when dogs play with another dog they include you in one of 2 ways. They come up to you smiling and tail wagging to make sure you’re having fun then run off. Or the dog they are playing with gets disinterested for a bit so they jump on you to get the other dog’s attention.

My dog and his buddy were playing on the couch. My guy would come up to me in the midst of things, give me little play bites and look me in the eye as he backed up a little. He kept doing this. He wanted me to join in. It was so endearing.

He’s new to playing and his dog buddy is teaching him the moves. Is this a Cockapoo thing or do you guys have other dogs that do this?

He was so scared and shut down. He now loves to share his energy, sparkling personality and love. We adore him!
