play

I have been pondering this for a while now and would like to get some input. Mandy does things at night while I am sleeping that she doesn't do during the daytime...

An afternoon of play and work with both dogs has reminded me how much I enjoy working with them, when we're at home and all our stress levels are low. We've done crate training, mat work, and play today, and they've surprised me every time with how quickly they pick up on all the concepts.

What are the rules of the game?

Tis the season for better understanding of animal behavior -- but what do you do when your dog says "no?"
