• ⚠️ Warm Up Required: Always warm up dog with 5-10 minutes of walking before intense play
• ⚠️ Time Limits: Limit sessions to 10-15 minutes to prevent overexertion and injury

Training Techniques & Tips:

Impulse Control Training:

1. Start with lure moving slowly
2. Command "wait" and hold lure still
3. Make dog sit or lie down while lure is visible
4. Gradually increase wait time before releasing
5. Reward with "get it" command and chase
6. Practice "drop it" when dog catches lure

Building Drive & Engagement:

• Use high-pitched, excited voice
• Make lure move erratically like prey
• Drag lure away from dog to trigger chase
• Let dog catch lure 70% of the time for success
• Vary patterns - circles, figure-8s, zigzags

Advanced Techniques:

• Incorporate obstacles for agility training
• Practice directional commands (left, right)
• Add distance commands (out, close)
• Combine with other training exercises
• Use for pre-competition warm-up

Care & Maintenance:

After Each Use:

1. Inspect rope for fraying or damage
2. Check pole for cracks or bends
3. Examine lure for tears or excessive wear
4. Wipe down pole and handle with damp cloth
5. Allow rope and lure to air dry if wet

Regular Maintenance:

• Weekly: Deep clean rope and lure with mild soap and water
• Monthly: Check all connection points and hardware
• As Needed: Replace worn lure or rope
• Storage: Store in dry place, hang to prevent kinks in rope

Replacement Parts:

• Lure/Tail: Replace every 2-3 months with regular use
• Rope: Replace if fraying or showing wear (every 6-12 months)
• Pole: Should last years with proper care

Troubleshooting:

• Dog Not Interested: Use higher-value lure (squeaky toy, favorite fabric), increase movement speed, use excited voice
• Dog Too Aggressive: Slow down, practice more impulse control, take breaks, ensure adequate exercise otherwise
• Dog Won't Release: Practice "drop it" command separately, use treats to trade, never pull lure from mouth
• Rope Tangling: Ensure swivel is working, avoid overhead movements, keep movements smooth
• Dog Loses Interest Quickly: Shorten sessions, vary patterns more, use different lures, ensure not over-using tool
• Pole Breaking: May be using too much force, check weight limit, replace with heavier-duty model
