Description
In this video, I discuss when you can begin playing tug with your puppy. The sooner the better… but only if you do it right. If you rush it or use the wrong toy, you can shut down your dog’s drive fast. We’re talking cracked teeth, bad experiences, and a dog that doesn’t want to engage.
If you’ve got a puppy right now, don’t wait until problems show up.

Also, check out DIYK9.com for all of our courses, recommendations, links, and more.
In this short, you’ll learn:
• The safest way to introduce a tug to a puppy
• What kind of toy to use (this part matters)
• How to build drive without ruining it
• Why SHORT sessions win every time
Keep it fun. Keep it controlled. End the game early… and watch your dog crave more.
