What's going on Bully world? Fred Duran from Primo Line Kennels here, bringing you a Bully Max how-to on building a spring pole for your dog.
A spring pole is an excellent way to give your bully a workout that builds muscle and stamina while having a ton of fun. It's perfect for "breaking frame" and "breaking teeth," meaning it helps develop a strong bite and powerful physique. Here's what you'll need and how to build it:
Materials:
- Heavy-duty spring coil: Choose one appropriate for your dog's size and pulling power.
- Bull snap hook: This attaches the tug toy to the spring.
- Large hook: Acts as a safety stop to prevent the spring from hitting your dog's teeth.
- Rope: A sturdy rope for attaching the spring to a secure mounting point.
- Bull hook/swivel: This prevents the rope from twisting and tangling as your dog plays.
- Wrench: For tightening the connections.
- Durable tug toy: Choose a toy that can withstand vigorous pulling and chewing.
Instructions:
- Attach the bull hook to the spring: This hook acts as a swivel, preventing the rope from twisting. Use a wrench to tighten it securely.
- Connect the rope to the bull snap: Tie a strong knot (Fred recommends a double knot for extra security) to connect the rope to the bull snap.
- Attach the rope to the swivel: You can either tie the rope directly around the swivel's hook or use another bull snap. Either way works fine.
- Attach the large hook to the end of the rope: This hook acts as a safety stop to prevent the spring from hitting your dog's teeth when they pull and whip the toy around.
- Attach the bull snap to the spring: Use your wrench to tighten it up well.
- Attach a heavy-duty tug toy to the bull snap: Now your spring pole is ready for action!
Important Considerations:
- Dog's Fitness: Before starting any new exercise routine, make sure your dog is in good shape and ready for the challenge. Consult your vet or a professional dog trainer for guidance.
- Heavy-Duty Equipment: Invest in high-quality materials that can withstand your bully's strength and energy. Cheap equipment can break and become a hazard.
- Supervision: Always supervise your dog while they're using the spring pole.
By following these steps and taking necessary precautions, you can provide your bully with a fun and effective way to exercise and build muscle. Have fun bonding with your dog over this engaging activity!
