My Dog Bites The String And Not The Ball - When Playing Tug
In this video, Ed Frawley shares a question from the Ask Cindy database. Today's question is about a 14 month old GSD that loves to play tug but one of the main problems that she has is that she often bites the string instead of the ball when playing tug. The owner wants to know what they can do to stop this habit from injuring her gums and teeth.
