The Tug-E-Nuff Lure & Tug toys may seem like an unusual addition to a gundog training kitbag but let us show you why these are the perfect addition for working breeds.
The world is full of unemployed spaniels, labradors, collies and such like breeds living a pet life. We know that not all gundog or working breeds are going to be used for their originally bred purpose, But just because we have decided not to employ them and give them a working role, it doesn't mean hundred of years of intentional breeding for working traits disappear overnight.
When you hear ‘gundog training’, you might picture people dressed in tweed with a Labrador politely delivering a pheasant to hand.
In reality, modern gundog training is much more relevant to everyday dog owners than most people realise.
Because at its core, gundog training is about teaching dogs to do three things really well:
-
Focus when the world is exciting
-
Control themselves when they desperately want to chase, grab, or zoom
-
Work with you rather than becoming… self-employed
So the long and short of it is, gundog training isn’t just for dogs with jobs.
It’s training that builds emotional control, cooperation, and clarity - which is exactly what many pet dogs struggle with on walks and at home.
These Lure & Tug toys can be used to create a manageable energy outlet & help build and manage the working drive in a young/working dog and in turn train for focus and a strong impulse control behaviour.
Impulse control is at the foundation of training any working breed in any discipline and these lure and tug toys allow you to do that in a fun and engaging way.
For those breeds such as terriers and terriers these lure are a great way to build on their natural prey drive at a young age.
