Cane Corso Chubby the mastiff on his springpole

[pitbull198932]

At what age will it be safe to start this? I have a bullmastiff x cane corso female, she is 8 months old and has a lot of drive and loves to play tug of war as long as where inside the house but outside she gets distracted, but is 8 months to young to be doing this?

that right there is a true working type cane corso! he has a lot of energy for an 8 year old large breed. Is he still the same way now a days?

btw Chubby is beautiful! How high is the toy from the ground (when he is not playing with it)?

Thank you for the reply :) I purchased the 160lb garage door spring for my Boerboels and I am looking forward to training them on the Springpole :)

Thanks. I think this one was about 5 ft. It has the big garage door spring, I had to set it up so various dogs exp and no exp could use it. It was able to come down low when pulled on. I used a chain way up high in the tree where I could set heights also if needed. Please share your videos if you get some of your guys having fun!

I would love to know what is on the end of that spring pole (the toy). We are in the process of building one for our Boerboels and are looking for a good toy to put on the end. Are you using a garage door spring for it? Specifics would be super helpful! I'll keep checking the video for replies :)

On that one is a training "bite pillow" you can also use a training tug as they come in various sizes and are a bit more gentle on the teeth then some of the other stuff you can use. I also use lawn tractor tires. Be sure to have a big spring or good bungy so it provides the stimulation the dogs wants.

Looks very good for 8 years old!
