Play, play, PLAY WITH ME NOW!

Very few dogs will play with Langley because he really is an ass when it comes to other dogs. Langley is all about himself. He wants to play so badly but the other dog typically gets overwhelmed and then Langley resorts to bullying to get his way.

In this video you see Langley attempting to engage my somewhat persnickety boy Frodo in a game of chase and Frodo wants nothing to do with him.  Frodo is always pretty aloof to foster dogs after the first day but he is able to hold his own for the most part. He's had plenty of practice, that's for sure.

This is a great example of one dog doing his best to send body signals that they are not interested, don't want to get into an altercation and really want the other dog to go away.  And Langley is a good example of a dog totally ignoring all those body signals and being a complete teen puppy punk. It's either Langley's way or there will be a loud tantrum.

While it was pretty funny to watch, it shows how Langley doesn't really understand "interacting" with other dogs but is more about just getting his way. We're working on this with him but it definitely is something that we are struggling with.
