#28 Tug-of-War: A Game with Rules
Tug-of-war can be more than just a game; it’s an opportunity to teach impulse control and build confidence in dogs. It also strengthens the bond between dogs and their owners. However, without rules, this game can lead to unintended consequences.
Rewarding your dog for tugging appropriate items, like toys or ropes, and not household items, such as clothing, is important. If not trained correctly, your dog might end up tugging on inappropriate items, potentially leading to the need for a wardrobe replacement.
