working dog won't work ?

For the life if me I can't get my new dog to work a spring pole what are some ways u guys get your nervous dogs to work spring poles

 

She will play with a flirt pole she will pound a plastic bottle be she won't work a cow hide on a spring pole weird dog it's like she afraid of the hide

 

Well rig the springpole with a plastic bottle

 

I've tried with the plastic bottles she is definitely scared of the noise the spring makes its weird

 

She is kinda young 15 months

 

wet the hide so it will smell .

 

That aint young.

You should have introduce them to that type of (play) work out at a very young (4 weeks) age.

 

Sounds like you've got a long road ahead on getting her to work the spring pole, She may not ever take to it...But it's not the end of the world, There are other ways to work her and get results.

 

I did introduce them to bite work very young and she I'll work a rope on a tree but not the 35 dollar spring pole it's the spring sound she just doesn't like it her brother loves it and her other sister even loves it she just don't like the sound weird and to me 15 months is young

 

She's totally scared of the spring I'm just gonna make her work something streachy

 

How about a firehose tug ?

if the noise is affecting her then you will have to get something else, or find something that has her focus a 100% and have a friend make the noise or her see another dog working it. You might have to add a lil bit of bacon grease on it, i'm sure that will make her forget the noise as she tries to eat that mofo lol

 

:happydance:swap the spring for some of the elasticated rope / bungee cord you can buy.

 

A working dog won't work lol... Get one that work

 

Lol I envisioned this thread going a lot diff from the title!!!

 

How do you all start pups on treadmills? I've never seen a mill in person and honestly I don't think my dogs, even if they started young like 4)6mo old, woulda ran one. biking and jennys are impossible for me to use nowadays and my dogs need work for mental health reasons.

 

Get something that they want and suspend it just out of reach, most time that works. A hide, milk jug, whatever does the trick.

 

Do what he likes

 

A couple of other things that come to mind are consistency and be persistent.
