What’s better than a dog playdate? In this adorable video with nearly 700,000 views, two dogs can be seen anxiously waiting on the street with their human. The pups are waiting for their other dog friends to come and when they finally do, the dogs’s can’t contain their excitement.

Dog playdates are beneficial for dogs in several ways. Firstly, playdates offer a chance for socialization, allowing dogs to learn how to interact and communicate with other dogs in a safe and controlled environment. Additionally, playdates provide an opportunity for exercise, helping dogs to burn off excess energy and stay physically fit. Dogs also require mental stimulation, and playdates offer new sights, sounds, and smells for dogs to explore, which can be mentally stimulating.

Playdates can also be used as an opportunity for owners to train their dogs and reinforce positive behaviors. Finally, dogs that regularly participate in playdates tend to have better behavior because they become more comfortable and confident around other dogs and people.
