    my vetrinarian advised against playing *tug* with the new puppy. thoughts?

    she said current research is showing it teaches dogs aggressive behavior.


    i think it's bull + everything turns into a game of tug with the puppy, lol.

    It depends on the dog's personality, I think. The puppy my mom got when I was 10 was already a snappy bitch, then we played tug with it all the time and it got worse. By the time it was an adult, it would bite you for standing too close to its food dish or for looking at it funny! Not fun.

    If it's a very timid dog though, I think it might do some good and teach it assertiveness.

        what kind of puppy do you have? in general, i think it's better to run your dog into tiredness rather than playing games that promote dominant behaviour. tug of war is one of those games, and you always want to be the alpha "dog" in the house if you know what i mean.

        also, depending on the breed and size of the dog you can pull their teeth out playing tug o' war.



        do you have puppy pics? i'm a sucker for dogs. :P

            I guess it depends on what you're tugging...

                IF you aren't strong enough mentally to dominate, or act as a dominant pack leader, its not a smart thing to play "tug" with a strong dog.
