Tug of war is a lot of fun for everyone involved. It's still GKar's favorite game but you are right they have to give it up when the game is over. I almost always give it back thou.Lexus said:I love tug of war, some pro's don't recommend it though... I feel that it is a natural game all dogs and pups play. DA's right, watch your pup's teeth, and also like he said, YOU MUST BE THE BOSS. When it is over, take the tug (with out a fight) even if you give it back to play with in a few minutes on its own. Just so you are the dominant one who can take the toy at your discresion. (sp??) I LOVE PUPPIES!!!!!!!! HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with alot of reply's that you got on this post. I do agree with TD. If you tug to hard you could shift your puppy's jaw and make it a level bite or over bite or teeth missing. Just when you play be genlte. But when it's over than it's over.TakirasDad said:Do you mean like Tug of War? Then yes definitley play with your Pup. Only a few things to think about, number one is your Pups teeth, you need to be a little gentle with a puppy then an adult when pulling real hard on the Tug. Number 2 would be that you are able to stop playing the game and your Pup knows when to stop (easier said than done) Just be sure that when you are done playing your Pup understands that and calms down and knows play time is over.
Any other ?'s just shout.
