PLAY
Importance of play in Dogs
Today’s adult pet dogs have less opportunities to play independently with other dogs after early puppy socialisation and this species-species ‘play/interaction’ deficit leads to pet dogs unable to maintain the ability to socialise properly to avoid possible confrontation.
Importance of play in Horses
Many people do not look at horses and think they are particularly playful creatures but maybe we need to take a closer look. Play is essential in all social animals and it is important for their welfare and development of cognitive ability.
