It looks vicious, but it's all play :)

    Lots of snapping, growing and biting - it's all play with plenty of 'stop there' and 'start again now' cues. Mollie hasn't quite got the language right yet but the older dogs let her get away with a lot!

    My 'enough' cue wasn't the best but I was holding an iPad and trying to video it lol

    That's a whole lot of black Labrador there :D

    Funny how they all bark. Shadow is the only one of mine that barks during play, and that's rare. He generally makes whale noises. Willow growls and snarls and Luna is silent.

    Wow, you can say that again!

    It's amazing how big Mollie is - I wouldn't even be able to tell her apart from Tatze if it wasn't for her "puppyness" while playing. She was such a tiny thing when I saw her!

    Wow!! Lovely to see how they stop when you give your 'enough' cue.
