Trapper turned 1.5 years old last month. He is sweet, gentle and just perfect in the house. When we take him out in the yard, he starts to run and play at supersonic speed. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that he wants me to chase him and try to get his rawhide bone. He runs and I even hear a little growl if I try to take it from him. Is this all in fun or should I be concerned? He also runs full blast and jumps about 4ft high in front of me sometimes missing me and sometimes pushing off me. He also touches his teeth on me. It does not hurt but it does scrap a little across my skin. His play is just rough. What should I do to control this or is this "normal" RR play? I know he is not trying to hurt me but he weighs 70lbs and is very strong and he does not know his own strength.
