I agree with Carolinefilly05 that this is not ghetto as some of the ignorant comments might suggest. It is also not supposed to replace other forms of exercise like walks/hikes/runs and getting your dog out to be socialized. For the high prey driven dog and those breeds who are just high energy, it is a fabulous way to expend excess energy. It is also an excellent tool for training impulse control when the dog is highly stimulated, which is important for every dog.

My staffy absolutely adores his flirtpole. Thanks for the tip on making this one. The store purchased ones are usually too short (not enough fun for the high drive dogs). I am currently using a horse lunge whip with a tug toy tied to the end. This works really well too.

I realize some of these comments are old. But the purpose of a flirt pole is not to replace normal exercise with your dog like hikes, walks, runs, biking, etc or even training. It's just an additional training and exercise tool that can be used. I teach impulse control, several commands including drop it / bring it here and leave it. 2 months old is WAY to young! I wouldn't start real flirt pole work until a year or better. And I am as non-ghetto as they come, but I still use this tool. ;)

@0aniris0 I think a dog finds more fun chasing something than to go for a walk. Walks are excellent as well, but my dogs [even cats] go nuts over this string + toy stuff. I find they don't have as much fun chasing a toy that rolls & then stops. They want something that moves fast so they can chase it down.

Ghetto as Fuck

Fun stuff, but what's wrong with taking your dog for a walk and throw balls and let him walk beside a bike etc :p You don't have to build anything.
