What is flirtpole?

It is a form of training that focuses on the dog's physique, training speed, body control and fitness. The mental part is activated with the help of flirtpole where the dog gets to release its hunting instincts, especially in dogs that hunt with their eyes. This activity is also relationship building as it requires good cooperation between you and your dog.

Things to consider:

Before you start training with the flirtpole, you should have a WELL-WARMED-up dog to reduce the risk of injury and wear and tear on the dog's body. The warm-up can consist of a walk of about 20-30 minutes.

Having a good surface where the dog can get a good grip is a must. Choose a larger area of lawn without pits or holes, check the surface is dry and free of objects that the dog can run into.

To minimize the risk of injury;

? If the grass/substrate is damp, do NOT train

? Asphalt, do NOT train

? Avoid quick stops, jumps and tight turns on any surface.

The training with the flirtpole consists of the dog running/smooching and chasing the match roll, back and forth, around in a circle in both directions.

The intensity of the game/training varies as you are the one who controls it. If you have a dog that gets stressed easily, train with short repetitions and with many breaks before the dog has time to get up to speed. Be clear and interrupt in time.

How often and for how long?

Once the dog is properly warmed up, the training lasts about 10-20 minutes per session. You can train Flirtpole 3-4 times a week.

If you have a dog that is not used to it, start with 5-10 minutes and gradually increase weekly.

A passport can look like this:

× Take out the flirtpole and command the dog to lie or sit down.

× Walk a short distance away, start dragging the battle roll behind the hill and give the command "go ahead". Play/training started.

× When the dog has been chasing it for a short time, reward the dog by letting it catch it, then give a command such as "loose" and ask the dog to lie down or sit down again.

× When the dog is calm and collected, continue as you started the activity.

Clear commands, rewards and passivity between repetitions are essential.
