A playful dog is a healthy dog!
For most dogs, play comes naturally, while for others, play is something they need to be taught. Play helps dogs learn to interact properly with other dogs—and people. It helps sharpen their social skills and provides excellent physical and mental stimulation. In addition to being just plain FUN, play is a great way to help build a solid relationship between you and your dog and can be a great training tool.
Play With Your Dog will show you
•How play can help you build a loving and long-lasting relationship with your dog.
•The role of play in helping puppies avoid problems like fear and biting.
•How to use play to re-socialize adult dogs.
•What to look for in dog play. Is it aggression or just having fun?
Bonus! Dozens of games you can play with your dog and the benefits of each.
So, whether you and your dog already play together and are looking for more creative opportunities to play, or you have a play-deprived dog who needs a re-introduction to the joys of play, this book will open your eyes to the possibilities. But don’t spend too much time reading—be sure to save time for play!

I have great respect for Pat Miller, as I've read articles by her and they were always inspirational in a way. I am not a newby when it comes to dogs, probably a little above the average owner in terms of knowledge. I've always had GSD, always played with my dogs, I incorporate play in the training, we have been playing tug since he was a puppy, fetch, swim games, jump games, find the kids in the forest, so I am not new to the world of dog play. Lately, I've been wondering what other ways I can come up to make the game play a bit more interesting...becuase he does want to play and there are so many times I can throw the ball or run away, before it gets a bit boring for the human. I was looking for a resource that will focus more on thinking/mind games, problem solving and so on...and I came across this book. Knowing what I know about Pat Miller, I ordered it right away and started reading it only to realize that we do that already, so I skimmed through the rest.This is very basic primer for someone who probably never had a dog...and has no idea how to interact with dogs. All the games in the book are very common sense, basic games for an active dog: chase, ball, tug, some tricks, dig. Some ideas on how to read dogs when they play, not very useful section on breaking dog fights...Again, great book if you have never played with a dog and have no idea how to engage your pup in play.

Play With your Dog edition by Pat Miller Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
I have read just about all of Pat Miller's books. Her approach to training is one that I have followed with all my dogs. Any lack of success has been because of our own lack of consistency. We tend to be too lenient with our critters, but that's the way we are -) The book is excellent.
Pat Miller has an easy to read and understand style. She does a thorough job of covering all aspects of play, between dogs,between dogs and people and very importantly, dogs and children. She also covers things that can go wrong during play. She offers ideas for games, dog toys available on the market, and how to rehabilitate the play-deprived dog. Excellent book.
Very nice book. It gave ideas on what games you can play with your dog. Which are ok and not ok for certain situations (taking into consideration the dog him/herself and whoever will be playing).
It would be a better book if it has description on the dog's body language at play and what is no longer play.
Gave me more insight into the different play styles of dogs, and therefore helped me to identify what type of games would best suit each of my dogs. Quick read, easy info, informative. I found it a worthwhile read and a welcome addition to my library.
Pat Miller is a fantastic author and very knowledgeable dog trainer. She brings the same insight I've come to expect from her other books (ex "The Power of Positive Dog Training" and "Positive Perspectives") to this training manual. "Play..." is a great review of dog's playing styles and ways to interact in positive ways with your dog(s).
I purchased the book (along with a few others on play/tricks/etc) because as a positive trainer myself I was running out of new ideas to challenge my 6 year old mixed-breed herding dog. I've had him since I rescued him at 1yr old and he is a very smart boy who LOVES to learn. As a result he knows a ton of tricks in addition to his standard obedience and he's clever enough to come up with his own ideas for play that may or may not be what we want him to do! (Because I've taught him to think through problems instead of just responding to rote commands, this is really a great "problem" to have.) This book is also helpful for my 7 year old Golden Retriever rescue who has a totally different personality.
This is by far the best of the books I purchased as it balances intelligent play and training (everything we do with our dogs is a training/teaching moment) with great explanations for those less familiar with training concepts and does not suggest ideas that could be problematic. For Example a DIFFERENT book I purchased suggested play that I would NEVER teach my dog, such as hiding food in cardboard boxes and teaching your dog to rip the boxes apart to get to the food. Dogs don't understand "just this time" ideas (something Pat Miller talks about) and if I were to teach this particular play, I'd have my dog ripping open any box that came into the house!
In addition to discussing the general importance of play, Ms Miller also reviews children and dogs, how NOT to play with your dog, and rehabilitating a play deprived dog. For owners with rescue dogs that don't know how to play this is a great chapter. I've worked in shelters for many years and this is a great chapter for those dogs that need to learn how to play or learn appropriate play. It is truly sad to meet a dog that has never learned how to play and so rewarding to teach them how to do so.
I highly recommend this book!
Who knew there are canine play behaviorists? I get dog behaviorists, like Cesar Millan and Patricia McConnell, but who knew there were specialists in dog play? Pat Miller is that and much more. She's written several books on dogs, dog training, etc. and I enjoy her writing very much. Down to earth, practical, and warm. She has a sense of humor and she really loves dogs. This book is great for people who want to expand their play with a dog. Maybe you have a dog like mine, who doesn't seem to know how to play. I got mine from a rescue, and he's just not interested in balls or ropes, playing chase, or tracking. I got the book in hopes it might help me get my dog into playing. Pat Miller explains a lot of different kinds of play, which I'm trying, and noticing in other dogs. She has terrific ideas for games to play with dogs. Some are training games, but a lot are just for fun. She has ideas for expanding play if your dog is obsessed with balls, she has ideas for what you can do in addition to Fetch. This would be so fun for athletic people who want to do active sports with their dog. Also fun for kids who have energy to burn and want to have fun with their dogs. She tells about activities for dogs, like Flyball, Rally, Obedience, and others. These are sports you do with your dog, and they're just for fun. I enjoyed the book and look forward to many fun games with my dog. If you like to play with dogs, you'll enjoy the book. Great gift for dog lovers!
