A flirt pole, also called a "flirt stick", is a piece of exercise equipment for dogs that entices a dog to chase a fast moving lure. This equipment is often used to physically condition a dog and improve his or her skills for better performance in certain competitions such as lure-coursing or Schutzhund.
Why is a flirt pole good for dogs?
A flirt pole is fantastic for dogs who love to chase – especially those with a higher chase drive than others, like sighthounds. It can really help to train a strong 'drop it' too! This game is best played after your dog has warmed up to prevent any injuries from happening.
How do you use a flirt pole?
- Dog must lie down, look at you, leave the toy alone, and wait for you to release them, before playing.
- When you tell them to “take it”, then they get to chase.
- After a few passbys, reward them by allowing them to catch the toy.
- Let them tug until you tell them to “drop it”.
