If you notice that your dog is becoming over-aroused, take a break from playtime and give them some time to calm down. At The Pack, you can do this by calling your dog to you and sitting holding your dog still with you for a few minutes. You can even ask our team for a slip lead so they stay with you. You can also ask our staff if you can utilize a separate gated area for your dog to take a break. By taking a few moments of rest, your dog will gradually learn how to play appropriately. Monitor playtime, keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior during playtime, and if you notice that your dog is becoming over-aroused, it may be time to head home for the day. By leaving before your dog exhibits unwanted behaviors, you ensure your dog continues to learn what’s appropriate during playtime and has fun. Over-arousal can be a problem for dogs during playtime, but with a little observation and intervention, you can help your dog stay calm and safe during playtime with other dogs. By knowing your dog and their limits and knowing when they’ve had enough, you can help your dog have fun and stay safe while socializing with other dogs at The Pack Indoor Dog Park.
