Tug It Starter - Teach Your Dog How to Play Tug Training Device. Fill with Food and Let the Tugging Fun Begin! The Starter Version Is for Dogs That Do Not Know How to Play Tug At All. The “Tug It!” is a training device to teach a dog to tug. The “Tug It!” is made of a strong nylon/polyester mesh. It has a velcro closure and handle. The trainer stuffs the “Tug It!” with an appropriate food. The food should be semi-soft and absolutely irresistible, i.e. hotdogs, hunks of cheese, chicken breast to name a few. Present the “Tug It!” to the dog. The dog will begin to sniff and lick it. Soon the dog will start to mouth the “Tug It!”. As it does, the dog will start to get some food reinforcement. The result is that the act of mouthing is immediately paired with the primary reinforcer, food. Once the dog starts to mouth the “Tug It!” gently grasp the handle and start to exert some tugging pressure away from the dog. The dog will start to mouth the “Tug It!” harder to ensure it doesn’t go away. The harder the dog mouths the “Tug It!” the more food reinforcement the dog gets therefore the act of tugging harder gets immediately paired with the food. This results in making the tugging behavior stronger. The “Tug It!” will have most dogs tugging quickly. Keep in mind that the “Tug It!” is a tug training device NOT a chew toy. The intention of the “Tug It!” is to teach the dog to tug and then transition this behavior to other more traditional tug toys. Dogs will quickly learn to love the “Tug It!” and the mouthing behavior will increase. DO NOT leave the dog unattended with the “Tug It!” as you could risk the dog shredding and ingesting it.
However to make things easier, you have to remember that the appropriate ratio in dog food ingredients is at least 30 percent meat. And each time try to remember that meats are NOT the same as these so-called meat byproducts . …
