Play Assessment – Video – What Do You See?
Wanna play? Take a look at this interaction in real time. What do you observe? After you post your answers, tomorrow I’ll drop two more videos where we break down some of the signals these dogs are giving. Until then – let’s observe! We can label these dogs “Righty” (the dog with the handler in pink shirt on the right) and “Lefty” (the dog with the handler in blue shirt on the left).

Well done, Kristina! Thanks for jumping in with SO MUCH FANTASTIC DETAIL! @KTinaN
Now watch these two clips and notice what else we can see when we slow things down and take the time to really look at the dogs and what they are saying…
Everyone, drop a comment when you’ve viewed the videos and let’s keep the conversation going!

Dog on right seems conflicted. The observations written out are so good. The slow motion really shows the details and I love all that is pointed out. There are things I did not see. It is so interesting to see the conversations two dogs are having.

Thanks for these videos. So great to have both versions. I wouldn’t have noticed when rights starts to mimic lefty, that was very interesting.
