Dogs are pack animals. This play behavior does establish order but it's NOT always the BAD thing that you hear about in the news.
There are many good books out there and many people have studied dog behavior. As a new dog owner you might want to read The Loved Dog, by Tamar Geller. She became interested in training dogs after spending time watching Wolf behavior.. and her book which is subtitled "The Playful Non-Agressive Way to Teach Your Dog Good Behavior" is based on working with and understanding the natural tendencies and behaviors of dogs.
I started reading it yesterday and it's an easy read. I bet you'd enjoy it!
