Question

Answer 1

You can use this opportunity to "show" your dog the appropriate play techniques.  If the dog becomes too aggressive, give a yelp and then turn away from the dog.  This is what other dogs in his litter would have taught him as a puppyt.  If it continues, get the dog onto the ground, laying on his side in a submissive position will also send the message that his behavior is not tolerated.

Answer 2

my dog does that. he's a 9month old bull boxer ( 1/2 english bulldog and 1/2  boxer) we play that way, it starts out fine and we both start to get aggressive. and when harley (that's his name) get real rough i will say time out. yes he knows what time out is and he backs off. if he really hurts me and i yell in pain he will run off and want come back to me till i call him.and everything is ok. i watch a boy who is 9 and harley plays w/ him but he knows he's a child and doesn't get rough. and there's nothing to feel guilty about y'all both are playing that way and he your dog hurt u, u need to make him stop and let him know he's getting to rough.  

Answer 3

Never, ever play aggressively with a dog, especially one that may want to be higher in the pack order than you.  You will end up with one that challenges everything - may growl, snap, even bite.  Bad idea all around.

Answer 4

I do the same exact thing the thing to do is just to stop and take a break for a few minutes and let you and you dog simmer don for a while and the everything should be Okay don't worry in the end he will still love you

Answer 5

Take breaks in-between the play sessions before it gets out of hand.  The break can encompass obedience cues, stays or even tricks to get him to settle down.  This is a great way to teach self control to a dog.

If my dogs get too worked up in play and push the limits, I mark it with a "Too Bad" said in a cheery voice and I walk away in the house.  Lesson learned: put your teeth on me and I'm gone.  The very last thing the dog wants to happen.  I find they learn this one pretty quick!
