Safe group play for dogs and puppies Supervising a group of dogs at play is a big task: interactions are subtle, behavior changes quickly, and it's loud. How can you tell if the play is no longer playful? Follow these guidelines. • Play should be enjoyable for all dogs. A dog shouldn't participate in playgroups or daycare if they're reactive to other dogs or people — especially if they've caused injury. Playgroups aren't for every dog. Some dogs don't enjoy play and will hide, flee, or snap at other dogs in an attempt to keep them away. Some dogs make themselves as small as possible to avoid conflict. Putting a dog like this into a group play setting can often make a dog more fearful.
