Thanks for the links. I have been thinking of doing this myself. Unfortunatly I rent, but we have a HUGE tree in my back yard and about a month ago harley started jumping way up to some branches and pulling the pine cones off. Then one time he grabbed the branch instead and he just hung there. Maybe I will try to tie a rope to the branch or something and encourage him its ok to do that! (Sasha is not in the least bit interested in anything in the back yard except watching bunnies and laying in the grass).

please post pics of your dogs working on the spring pole.

need help with the spring pole my pit loves to play tug but wants nothing to do with the spring pole what can i do for her to want the spring pole. i weight train as well. i have pic of her on myspace.com/piratejeeper

Sally is doing the same thing, she will tug but dont hang from it. I was told to use a flirt pole...we made one for her and she LOVES it.

we are just getting starting in spring pole training but here is Victor and Midis in progress. VIctor would rather bark at it but Midis is a natural at it and would hang if he had the chance too, we just have to be carefull because he doesnt have a lot of teeth left!

Victor on your left Midis on your right

looks like they love it, mine won't touch the darn thing...

lol ya i thought about that too that they wouldnt touch it at all... but after me playing with them on it they like it now! Victor is just being protection trained so he thinks he needs to sit and hold it first lol (we have a long way to go on the trainning yet) but Midis is your backyard ill do anything you want me too and i will do it till i die type lol so he's good at it. Knuckles is already into it ill put it a little lower for him and he goes to town on it when im not looking then ill go out there and try and take a picture and he just stands there lol Rome is freaken crazy that dog has DRIVE FOR ANYTHING lol

Just be careful letting both of them play with it at the same time....you never know when a fight might break out between them. They may have always gotten along in the past, but NEVER trust a "pit bull" not to fight.
