I find it quite hard to understand how you can own a dog and not be able to identify when it is happily playing!
We meet the odd new dog owner who doesn't get the submissive / aggressive taking turns thing. That and the the play biting, which is all perfectly normal. Never had that sort of reaction though.

Took Otto for a walk earlier. Another dog ran up to him wanting to play and Otto and the other dog ran around barking, mouth wrestling and generally having the time of their lives for a few moments before the other owner turned round, yelled "GET YOUR DOG OFF MY DOG" and ran over to pick their dog up. Didn't get a chance to say anything as they rushed off in the opposite direction.
