The Play Way (2 parts) By Lili Chin. This is free to download, share, print, with credits and no edits! Thank you. :)
In January 2020, I attended Dr. Amy Cook’s PLAY WAY seminar at Pasadena Humane Society. The seminar was about “social play” as a tool for rehabilitating reactive/stressed/fearful dogs. “Social Play” has been defined as something different from playing with toys (tug, fetch, etc. ) It is literally “goofing around” with your dog in a way that they like, that makes them happy. Body language responsiveness, movement and timing is everything.
Not only did we get to see some inspiring and entertaining video footage of Amy Cook playing with her dogs, some attendees had also brought their own dogs to play with, while Amy offered coaching. We saw the Play Way live!
It was an amazing and delightful experience and I couldn’t wait to get home to play with my 15 year old Boogie (now passed on) who hadn’t been interested in Tug or Fetch in over a year due to his vision loss. The Play Way class was like learning a new language, a new vocabulary to play with my dog.
This infographic cannot possibly do justice to all the material covered in the Play Way seminar, which also focused on play as “therapy”. For now, I hope this is enough to pique everyone’s interest in the subject and how to be mindful and respectful of our dog’s body language and of our own body language in conversations with our dog.
