FOR A LIMITED TIME Watch the all-new Dunbar Academy Dog-Dog Reactivity webinar for FREE, where Dr. Ian Dunbar explains how to resolve dog-dog reactivity and why teaching your dog to play Tug is one of the most effective things you can do.
In this video, Kelly works with novice dogs and demonstrates how you can begin teaching tug to a dog. She works with three dogs, starting with a little one-year-old Corgi, then a Poodle puppy and finally Missy, our resident little old lady.
- The Corgi has never played tug before, but she has played ball, so it’s easy to get her started using a ball on a rope.
- Next up is the Poodle, who is also completely new to the game of Tug. She is also very interested in playing, but with a fabric tug toy instead.
- Last up is Missy, our geriatric demo dog. Missy’s a little older, completely deaf and totally indifferent to all of Kelly’s attempts to lure her into playing Tug. But Missy is food-motivated. Very food motivated. So Kelly finds a way to harness that motivation in a way that can be safely directed towards playing Tug.
