You will find controversy surrounding Dog Tug Toy for as long as we shall live for plenty of reasons. You can ask a dog trainer, a dog handler, the veterinarian and a dog breeder all the same question on what their opinion is regarding dog tug toys and playing tug of war with your dog. You can be sure to get 4 different points of view.

All negative opinions generally refer to the aggression and brutal behaviour it provokes in the animal. However, some have the opinion that it is more relevant as to what breed it is or the specific dog's temperament or personality traits than the dog has. Mostly you will find that the golden rule is that playing tug of war with your dog is not dangerous, but the manner in which you play it and the rules you enforce makes all the difference.

Through all this debate and controversy it is important to remember that your dog is a descendent from the wolves and it does not matter how much your dog is domesticated, it will always remain a wolf at heart and carries the ancient instincts of the wolf deep within.

In order to prove that playing tug of war with your dog does not influence the relationship between a dog and his owner a proper study was conducted in 2002. At the end of the study, the conclusion was made that playing tug with your dog does not aggravate or inflicts aggression or have a negative influence on your relationship.

Now that you know it is safe for you to play the tug game, you need to keep the following in mind before you go out to buy the Tug Dog Toy.

Look for a Dog Tug Toy with no stringy or ravelled ends or that may unravels easily. This can cause strings to get caught between the teeth. Pay attention to this in particular if you have a small type of dog. Their teeth are much closer together and caught strings more easily between their teeth. Good quality is also important it is no use the tug toy has no durability and play needs to be ended in the first two minutes! I very important piece of advice is not to make use of your socks or other household items to play tug of war with. You teach your dog that way that those objects are toys and he is allowed to use it.

Pay good attention to the strength of your dog's chewing ability. Normally larger dogs don't chew excessively as their smaller counterparts with much sharper and finer teeth. Apart from the chewing factor, make sure to obtain a tug toy that allows you reasonable grip on the toy and not a too strong grip on your end. It might be possible for you to tug out a tooth by accident if you pull too hard on the other end.

So now you have the right toy, now you need to update some basic knowledge on how to play a safe game of tug and war with the new tug toy. In no way you must let your dog dangle in the air as he hang on to the tug toy. They can hurt their teeth and jaws badly by doing this.

In the event where the animal starts to act too vehemently, immediately let go the toy and walk away. Make sure your dog understand that using the tug toy is a form of play. When you want to play take out the toy and once the game is over put the toy away again. Do not leave the dog tug toy lying around.
