This is pretty smart. For advertising purposes, giving every dog a leash guarantees smiles and excitement all around - as they think they're each about to go on a walk. lol
My Schnoodle loves these videos. He's 15lbs but only likes to play in the big dog area of the dog park. The other little dogs don't play the same for him.
I had tried adding music in Episode 5 and it didn't do well in terms of views or how long people watched it. So I moved that video outside the series and called it Dogs playing: Big Red's day (may contain music). You can see it if you want and compare it to Episode 5.

Thanks! A lot of peoole (and some dogs) don't like stopping on the dogs' faces. To dogs, it can seem like a "hard stare" which is threatening. Newer videos have the names at the bottom of the screen.
Yeah, Khalua was evaluated a few times with essentially the same result: she's nervous but tolerates the other dogs and she doesn't have a play style. She keeps to herself in the playgroup. When there was an altercation between dogs, she didn't engage at all, which is good. She can be dog selective and not get along with particular dogs. When a dog is very scared in the playgroup, the handler will either move them to the side yard or return them back to their kennel.
She's a happy dog who "never has a bad day". She seems to like people more than other dogs and she definitely likes me when I'm recording video in the playgroup.
I am curious why their leashes are left to dangle. My dog is aggressive on-leash as are many. Does leaving them on in this environment help the aggression?
Yes, this question comes up every now and then. The dogs have leashes (drag lines) so that it's easy to separate them if there's an altercation between dogs or for the handler to simply get the dog to remove it from the playgroup. If dogs start fighting, a big risk is when other dogs jump in and attack one of the dogs (conflict driven). Lots of people nearby are trained and ready to run to the play yard and help separate all the dogs. It's also dangerous to get near their mouths if they're fighting. So having a leash makes it safer and easier to get them apart. But if a dog is latched onto another dog, then you don't want to pull them apart as it will cause more damage than waiting and getting the dog to let go (bite stick, hose, air horn, etc). If a dog consistently shows a certain set of behaviors, then the handler can remove their leash, but we have so many dogs, so few handlers, and limited time, so almost all the dogs keep their leashes on. I walk a lot of dogs at the shelter and worked with a lot of great dog experts there. Leash pressure is a big deal for dogs and I've been practicing loose leash handling for a few months and the results are surprisingly good. Given the "fight or flight" situation that dogs have in stressful/dangerous situations, a leash with pressure on it reminds the dog at a gut level that they've lost the flight option, especially with how slow we humans can run. I use the least amount of short tugging on the leash that will work in order to guide the dog and let the dog make the decisions as much as possible (even if I need to veto some of them and let them choose another option). I also remind myself that while I'm holding the leash, I'm responsible for that dog's safety and to act like it so the dog hopefully knows that I know it. The dogs in the playgroup don't care about the leashes except when they get tangled up or when they get caught on something. It would be nice if they could be off leash in the play yard, but it could easily be deadly for the dogs.
The leashes allow the handlers to quickly separate dogs. When dog emotions escalate and all the dogs are afraid/angry, grabbing their collar (anywhere near the "business end" of the dog) is a very high risk for getting bitten via a redirection that the dog has little control over. A bite can be a euthanasia death sentence for a dog if they already have multiple serious bites on record. It's typical to need to chase down dogs that are running around the yard to prevent one from overstimulating another dog to where a fight could break out. Sometimes you have to grab their leash to get them to stop. It's entirely possible for a large number of dogs to get caught up in the emotions and kill another dog. There's a well defined procedure for preventing this by calling in everyone via radio to rush in and grab the dog leashes and separate the dogs. Note that if any dog is latched onto another dog, you should use a bite stick rather than pulling them apart, but definitely have them under control via leashes while doing the maneuver. People also use a "break board" to get between the dogs while one is latched onto another, but again not to pull the dogs apart. If anything like that is happening it will probably sound like the most frightening thing you've ever heard. Sometimes people will comment here that it a dumb idea to keep the leashes on and assume that the staff doesn't know what they're doing. But this is all based on experience with thousands of dogs over many years.

My son is non verbal autistic and LOVES dogs! He is so obsessed with your videos and it has calmed some major meltdowns! Thank you!!
Wow, that's wonderful! Dogs are really up front about their feelings and are also non verbal, so that makes sense.

Cool. I hope he learns some fancy moves to try out at the dog park.

Thank you for live sound and no music. This is exactly what pleases (to put it mildly!) my Bull Terrier!!

Good video, my 1 yr old was mesmerized. His sister is in heat and he's driving us crazy with his whining. Relaxing music just wasn't working.
Good to hear that the video helps.

I loved the creative editing here and I love when you stop on the dogs' faces so we can see them.

They are funny
Yes, they are.
Jill is a good looking dog😁
She was adopted the day after this video was recorded. That's always good to see.
Kahlua looked scared

This is how you control a dog as well as train Common sense
I like how you show their names, but my ADD goes insane when the video pauses on them. 🤣
