Aug 18, 2007 - would it be okay when playing tug o war, u get the rope from him and then toss it when u dont want to play anymore for him to go fetch and naw on it in the corner; or is that tell him he still "won"?

Aug 19, 2007 - Great question! I always teach dog owners to keep the tug toy when they are done playing. The tug toy is the one toy that you want to keep in your possesion. At the end of the game the tug toy gets put away. I would toss a different toy to your dog. Best, Eric

P.S. will be ordering your online training course this payday

Aug 28, 2007 - Great question! I don't recommend children playing tug games with their dogs. The dog will quickly mature and become stronger than the child. Tug games should be left to the adults. Thanks, Eric

Jan 20, 2008 - It is a good game to play. A lot of dogs love to play tug games. The most important part of playing this game is to control the game. You need to win the game by having your dog release the tug toy when you are finished playing.

Sep 20, 2008 - That's wrong. If you read the scientific literature on this you will find that winning/losing is irrelevant. They see tug as play, which means it's a cooperative interaction.

Sep 24, 2008 - what about interesting your dog in tug, or other types of play. one of the dogs we rescued has no interest at all in play. Not to mention this girl is work. appreciate the videos
