Not every dog works for cheese, and if yours would rather chase and grip than eat, a tug is the reward that actually pays them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirm-cored bite stick with a handle at each end, two sizes. The double handle lets you hold it away from your body and lets a second person take the other end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsing a tug as a reward\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rule that makes it work is that the tug lives with you, not in the toy box. It appears when the dog does the thing, and it disappears afterwards. A tug always available is just a toy. A tug that only comes out for good recalls becomes worth coming back for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeach an out before you teach much else, so the game ends when you say. Trade for food the first few times rather than pulling it from their mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo cautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the tug low and let the dog get all four feet under them. Do not lift a dog off the ground by a tug, and stop tug games entirely with puppies still losing teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairs with the \u003cstrong\u003eRecall Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e for dogs that are not food-motivated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longline","offers":[{"title":"Blue edge \/ 30cm","offer_id":46810666565829,"sku":"CJGY103593301AZ","price":18.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue edge \/ 50cm","offer_id":46810666598597,"sku":"CJGY103593302BY","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/5572\/1413\/files\/1615276564887.jpg?v=1787693498","url":"https:\/\/longline.ca\/products\/dog-training-blue-edge-bite-stick","provider":"Longline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
