Whats your thoughts on this game

Was going to wait till my pup has finished teething and use this game while still understanding he will be young pup still im guessing 6 months.

Things i would remember is not to set it to high and IF he did lose grip he would land on something soft

Does anyone here let there staff play tug this way.

Looks like he loves it lol!!!
My breeder was showing me videos of hers doing tht with trees lol they love a good swing

No we just play tug together!

Same here just tug.

Correct watching many videos on this game has showed me that staffys adore games like these keeps them busy to,it can look abit aggressive natually i was wondering is there any side affects to this type of game. i suppose playing tug with a rope isnt much different

Its perfectly fine to let them play that only thing is, most people recommend you wait till they are ATLEAST one year/18months simply because they could damage their joints and possibly cause problems long term with hips and such. Not sure how often they have long term problems and im not saying you have to stop, just something to look into although im sure short periods of time at low height will be just fine! he looks like hes having lots of fun

Definitely wait until at least a year old, and preferably 18 months before you set up anything like that. When you do, make sure that your dog can reach the tyre (or whatever) without his back legs leaving the ground - in fact his rear paws should be able to stand comfortably on the ground at all times.

Good old tug here too.

Tug here too, gives me a good work out while he drags me around the yard haha

Looks like fun! I would definitely wait until he is at least a year old, preferable 18 months old! He could damage his joints and have problems later in his life!

Thanks everyone,advice taken on board and will listen to it,i will find another high energy game for him that is more suitable for his age,i need to find a game that will make him do short sprints but doesnt really involve throwing a ball etc

I use a bungy with Chiquito when we play tug and he loves it .. wears him out nicely

He also enjoys his ball and frisbee, however if he needs a good run around in the yard I tend to get his soccer ball out. Playing hide and seek with treats or favorite toys also works well to get him moving .... great way to practice commands while you are playing too
