How to Play Safely & Effectively With Your Dog Toy
Tugging, chasing or fetching with your dog is brilliant for building bond, impulse control, and strength — but it needs structure. Here are some trainer-backed tips:
✔️ Use a proper PK9 tug toy made for grip and safety
✔️ Teach a clean “drop” or “out” cue for session control
✔️ Keep your movements low and controlled to minimise strain
✔️ Let your dog win sometimes — it builds motivation, confidence, and drive
When tug is done right, it becomes not just a game — but a powerful training tool.
