How do you tire out a monster puppy? (Dialup Beware)

Especially after he's acted like a complete and total idiot in the show ring for a day and a half despite all efforts? Bring in a flirt pole and one HUGE tire in a dirt horse arena!



























I think he's kinda tired, don't you?

LOL, nice pics....and as always, beautiful dog.

That is awesome! I need to get a flirt pole and some fencing in my back yard...my pups are getting huge now. they are all 3 months old and about 20 lbs!

The flirt pole is the cheapest toy I've ever gotten for the dogs (being as I made it) and it's the biggest favorite. Even the fat lab has a blast ripping around the yard chasing it. lol.

Total break down on cost for the flirt pole was, by the way:

$1.77 for 10ft of 1/2" PVC piping (I made 2 flirt poles - 5ft each)

$3.40 for 20 feet of 1/4" nylon rope (@ $0.17/ft) - enough for two flirt poles again.

$0.18 for 2 3/8" washers to secure the knot at the base of the pole.

Electrical tape was free since I already had it to put around the base.

And the toy was $2.49 @ Petsmart.

So, a grand total of just under $8.00 for two flirt poles.

I'll be making my dogs some here soon...I never would have thought it was that easy!
