I am thinking about purchasing some tugs for my 4 month old. Which tug would you recommend?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,Thank you in advance for your advice. I very much appreciate the help.
I have a 4 month old border collie/aussie and I am thinking about purchasing some tugs for her to play with. She loves to chase a long rope and catch the end of it, and she is very quick, but it is hard to get her to out the toy. Would you recommend using the furry fleece tug (she loves furry animal toys), the synthetic puppy tug or the leather puppy tug?
Thank you.
Cindy's Answer:
I would probably get one of each if you can manage that. The reason is that some dogs will become partial to one particular surface to bite/play with and it can cause issues down the road. I introduce my little puppies to jute, linen, fleece, leather, rubber, plastic, etc...
I want my adult dogs to bite anything I offer, anytime, anywhere. By exposing them to many different items when they are young you reduce the risk of equipment bias later. I hope this helps.
