What is a flirt pole? How to use it to exercise your dog safely.

I've been using a pole for awhile but loved learning about this pole its superior too mine great practical videos thank you

So funny because this is EXACTLY what I trained my dog to do before I even saw your video. We bought the squishy face studio flirt pole to help give our 2 boxers exercise because I'm unable to walk them due to a disability. I still struggle with getting our male boxer to release. He does really well "drop it" when we're playing inside, but he doesn't want to let it go, even for a treat. I guess he figures if he's going to work that hard for it, he doesn't want to give it up that easily. lol

My boxer wasn't interested. Lol

Great video. Answered all my questions. I made one early last week and just started using it during play with the dog I'm fostering. I don't have a toy on it at the moment cause he's more excited by the rope. Thanks!

That is terrific! I am so glad your foster dog enjoys the game! It is such a great way to introduce them to polite play too.

@@RedPointyDogTraining thanks. It has been hard to train him drop it and impulse control when he's excited so I hope it will lend well to leash behavior when we're out with all the distractions, and maybe even less nipping and mouthing. Either way, great tool !

Thank you I really enjoyed watching that video

My dog isn't terribly food motivated. What kind of treat should I give her?

[@helenwalland8155]

I've never seen this idea before. It looks ideal for my mini poodle with too much prey drive. Can't wait to get started. Such a simple idea but great means of exercise when the roads are too icy to go out.

[@RedPointyDogTraining]

It is such a great tool for working with dogs with high prey drive!

My dog zeros in on rabbits during his walks but had no interest in this so far.
