Date: 2010-02-19 02:01 am (UTC)I couldn't play rough games with him because he was very submissive but eventually we could play a sort of buffeting game where I'd gently shove him and he'd pounce me and try to climb in my lap. My brother's dog, who never had any anxiety used to play rough and you could wrestle so long as you made sure you 'won' most of the time (she was a Kelpie X German Shepard) so she didn't get ideas about being higher in the pack than she really was. We had to build up to 'chase me' because he got scared if I stood up or moved fast. I also spent time extinguishing 'mouth your hands' and, once he built up to it, 'jump on you.'
I kind of traded playing tug-o-war for having a dog that gives me back anything when I want it, I have to be very gentle when I tug or he assumes I *want* it and hands it over.
