| Re: Playing Tug?
I play tug with Raelin, but I only did so a few months ago (she is now 1 year old). I only play tug when we are training and I have treats available to reward her good behaviour, and if she starts to bite towrds me or get to excited, we stop and move on to something else.
The type of tugging we are doing is very controled and is ALWAYS initiated by me and ENDS with me, no exceptions!
She loves to and we can now use this as a reward for retrieving a toy, or for doing well on another comand, but again, I always initiate and break the comand.
I would recomend having a reliable "out" or "drop it" before getting into tugging. JMO.
