So I have taken home one of our shelter dogs as a temporary foster. She is a little fawn brindle pit bull who is cute as a button. She is only about a year old and is good with Ino (we did crate and rotate for a while and still do aside from short play sessions), aside from her playing too rough. He will not correct her when she gets too rough with him. She will grab his face and hold then he will let his leg go limp and will lay on top of her using his body weight to slow her down. The problem with that is when he puts her on the ground, her teeth slip off him but she still has a good grip and it is leaving marks on him. I do not want him to end up all scarred up from play. How do I teach her to loosen her grip? I've started using a squirt bottle and spray her when she grabs on and holds and it seems to be working but I was wondering if that is a good idea or not. They really like each other and other than that- play is appropriate. There are no toy issues (I'm still restricting toys when they are together for the most part- Ino's old and less interesting toys are all that are out when they are together- new toys are for when they are separated) and they are not fed together- but are offered treats near each other that can be consumed immediately. There has been no spats whatsoever- nothing even close. They both enjoy playing, I just want to find a way to calm it down because they do play pretty rough. I do not know her history as she was a stray. She has met other dogs beside Ino and does great. She is also doing well with my cats, although she has chased a few times so I am careful with that to be sure a prey drive will not kick in- so far, she ignores them aside from them running. She play pounces them so it may be play, but not risking it as I am not looking to keep her. I am trying to find her a home and the only reason I took her was she had been on the euth list for aggression (she growled a bit out of fear and with as many pit bulls as we have that won't get adopted with good temperments, we do not keep ones that will not "show" well) and came around so was taken off, but two days later got sick with URI and was back on the list. I couldn't let her be put down, as she did not have a chance to be seen. She had been in our quarentine section until two days before she got sick. She is going to see our vet on wed. She was on vacation because I am not sure if she is pregnant or having a false pregnancy. Her nipples are getting noticably enlarged and saggy but she does not appear to be getting more round in the abdomen. Just want to be sure, as they will do a spay abort on her if she is or they will get a rescue to pull her. Either way, I am clueless when it comes to prego dogs- I've never had to go through that and honestly, hope never to have to go through it. Ok, I just got off topic big time. If anyone has any suggestions with the rough play, please give them. I am new to the foster thing and I would love to let them out together more- but do not want Ino to end up with a bunch of marks on his face.
