Stitch Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I am looking for a tough training toy to use with a dog that trains way better for a short game with a toy than for food treats. I am thinking a lambswool rectangular pad with a strong tab so I can put it on a bunge rope. If anyone has any better ideas I would love to hear them. I have to have some way to hold the toy out of the way between rewards and I am not sure how I will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitch Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 OOOOOOHHHHH - Thanks, just what I wanted. Now I have to choose between them!!! Not sure what I will do with the Bunge Rope one between rewards now that I look at them??? Maybe the shorter one on the webbing handle would be easier to manage???

ness Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I tend to use french linen tugs from K9Pro - they are my standard training toy of choice these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasels Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) I always wear cargo pants/ shorts when I'm training so I can shove the rope I use into one of the huge knee pockets I find that if the foxdog can see the rope while we're on the agility course she won't focus ahead, so the pockets keep it out sight and out of my way too. Edit: some of those toys wouldn't fit into a pocket, but others would Edited December 11, 2011 by Weasels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 LOL I have gone to the next level Weasels - magnetic tugs are awesome . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasels Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Ness I had to google that and to think i was all excited because i just got a clicker with a belt clip! Thinking about it, i'm amazed I can still run: left knee pocket - poo bags, ball and rope. Right knee pocket - regular treats (lots). Top pants pockets - phone in one, clicker in the other Jacket pockets - keys in one, high-value treats in the other Because of course I have to have one dog that will only work for food and one that will jump the moon for a toy :rolleyes: Edited December 11, 2011 by Weasels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsdog2 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I train my GSD with a Magnet Ball. It's tough, great for short games, has a rope attached so can be used as a tug. It is also easily held out of the way between rewards. Here is the link:- Magetic Ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Kenz would love the ball model but they don't come in midget size . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsdog2 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Kenz would love the ball model but they don't come in midget size . Poor Kenz - it's perfect for smaller GSD's but not sure about Kenz, the ball is NOT soft (so not really forgiving for 'midget' sized mouth ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah I know Steve was suppose to be looking into a smaller option for me . She would actually prefer a slightly smaller french linen tug too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
