Treat Tug
-Leather & Jute Styles-
Imported from Europe
| Leather Treat Tug Product #1184-1 |
|
| Jute Treat Tug Product #1184-2 |
These tugs have a Velcro pocket to put treats in for added drive. The leather tug is 10" long and has a circumference of 6.5." The jute tug is 11.5" long and has a circumference of 7.5."
Training tugs are a very important part of working a dog in training. Many people think they are only used for puppy work. These people are wrong. The shorter tugs are a great training aid for drive building and are used throughout the life of the dog.
Tennis balls are very, very hard on dogs teeth. Bite tugs are a much better alternative. Bite tugs are also much better than solid hard rubber balls on strings. When a young dog is accidentally hit in the head with a hard rubber ball he will lose drive. When the same dog gets hit by a tug he ignores the situation and continues to chase in drive.
The tugs vary in length and diameter, which one you use will vary according to the goal of your training.
Drive building in adult dogs is always done with the smallest tug. These tug have one handle or two handles. It can be moved very, very quickly. The goal of drive building with a small tug is to move it around your legs and body at a speed that the dog can not get at it. Moving them around in short quick movements forces the dog to move quickly if he has the drive to catch it - when the dog misses the tug it builds frustration and frustration builds drive. Using the longer tugs does not work because the dogs are too quick. It's too easy for them to grab a long tube or the second handle on these longer tugs. So it's much easier to play "keep away" with this smaller tug.
The longer tugs are actually used for puppies. I offer two different sizes. They are both close to the same length but Medium Tug is much smaller in diameter. Its easier for the very young puppies (8 weeks) to get their mouth around. When a pup gets to be about 6 months old (its mouth is larger) they can be moved on to the Larger Tug.
If you want to see how the puppy bite tug is used, I suggest you view my videos titled Bite Training Puppies, The First Steps of Bite Training, and Building Drive and Focus.
