How to Tell The Difference Between Playing And Fighting With Alaskan Klee Kai Dogs

Alaskan Klee Kai Dogs are dogs that have a very unusual way of playing. When an AKK plays, they often act as though they are fighting. In order to be a good pet owner, it is important that you understand how to tell the difference between fighting and playing. Your dog will be much happier if he is allowed to play normally, and you will be much happier if you are not afraid that he is fighting.

  1. Knowing Your Alaskan Klee Kai

    • 1

      Watch your Klee Kai interact with other dogs.

    • 2

      Look at the way that their tails are. If your Alaskan Klee Kai has a tail that is raised up and wagging, he is having fun and not fighting.

    • 3

      Watch her mouth. If your Alaskan Klee Kai has a wide open mouth, almost as if she is grinning at you, and is panting or has her tongue sticking out, she is playing and not fighting.

    • 4

      Look at your dog's stance. Is he cowering down or trying to get on top of the other dog? This probably means that he is playing. When the AKK play, they alternate between being the dominant dog and being the one who is submissive.

    • 5

      Watch the way that your dog acts after she has the other dog pinned down. Does she let him up after a little while? If your dog is fighting, she will not let him up. If they are playing, each one will take their turn on the ground and be let up again.

    • 6

      Listen to the sounds that your dog is making. When Alaskan Klee Kai play, they make growling noises and are very vocal. If your dog is making lots of noise, he is probably at play with the other dog.
