I just dont get it...I dont mind them playing but when it gets too rough, outside they go...The second they go outside, they both lay down and take a nap....

They are speed bumps most of the day but when the beasts awaken...they play rough but only inside LOL

There is not enough space inside to run around or do much of anything, so they figure out what to do to release some of this energy (after awaking from a speed bump condition).

Mine do it too.  I'm not sure why...but it seems to be more fun to play in the house.

My will wrestle outside but only with an audience. 
We call it...."LOOK AT US, WE ARE BIG GOOBERS!"
As soon as they hear the front door close because I've walked into the house they stop and stare at the door like, "How could she walk out on this terrific show?"

It's hard not to sit and watch the show...especia lly with front row seats.  They love being the center of attention and the whole world is their stage.  That's funny!

Mine only play in the house. They think the yard is only their toilet and why would they play there. Roll Eyes

My two do the Big Time Wrestling bit inside, too.  We call it "tooth wrestling" because they both open their mouths as wide as possible, and try to see who can "tooth" and slobber on the other one's head the most.  Then, the little RT jumps in!  She stands up on a piece of furniture to try to be the same size as Dar and Sasha, but in the heat of the wrestling match, she falls off the chair and feels stupid. I love to watch them play like this, it's so funny, and they never get carried away to the point of danger (well, unless they are fighting to see who gets the very last bite of the rawhide bone), but, yeah, front row seats are real hard on your feet snd legs!

DOGS LAUGH, BUT THEY LAUGH WITH THEIR TAILS.

Because if they played outside they wouldn't be able to break anything of value.

Thanks,
