Looking into trying cowhide on my spring pole as my dog current;y doesn't play with the rope on it too much, how does your dog like hides? Thinking about ordering some from stillwater but he only sells in cases of 6 and won't sell just 1. Do most dogs go crazy for these things or have you seen some that don't care for them? Don't wanna spend $35 to find out my dog hates them!

I have not tried them yet I am thinking about it

[steerryGritly]

Mine like them but like flavored treats a lot more.

I've never tried flirt or spring poles but I've toyed with the idea by using one of their favorite toys. The best reactions have always been with stuffed animals for my boys. Doesn't matter if its on the end of a rope, a pole or in my hand. I have different ones around and they know which one they can and can't play with.

The best part is they're cheap and easy to replace, the down side is cleaning up the cotton when they're done.
Sometimes when they're done (tearing it apart and pulling everything out of it)I wash and tie the torn pieces together.

They're cheaper than buying toys if you purchase them from second hand stores or garage sales. I'm good at those claw machines in stores so I use those to.

Stuffed animals do not last 5 minutes with my two I had tons because I love claw machines but I no longer give them to the dogs because they destroy them and I have to clean all the stuffing up also Marlo choked one day got it caught in his throat .

All of my dogs love them. It is like doggy crack with hair to them. I usually put the hides either on their flirt pole or spring pole. They are fabulous. I totally recommend them. Two thumbs and two paws up.

Pandora use to just chew on them but then again she was a weirdo.

My dog loves hides.If your dog has any prey drive these are almost certain to bring it out.

With Stillwater you will get more than you pay for.

actually on the spring pole...surprisingly for my bot atm (I JUST swapped his rope toy out today) a stuffed duck from wal-mart, its a dog toy that has a squeaker in it that sounds like a duck lol...well I attached its neck to the spring pole, had it where his back feet were still on the ground but he had to hop up to get it, and he never tugged on it but had a ton of fun bite and releasing it...he has had this sucker up for 8 months (just raised it to be where his front feet are off the ground today) and he will normally tug it a little but with that toy he does not, and he has destroyed many a stuffed toy so I donno might just be my wacky dog lol (I have photos just dont have them uploaded yet)

Great info!

[zdoppiklonikaa]

how do you connect them to your pole so they dont tear?

[QxmFwtlam]

My dog is indifferent about hides, but each dog has their own preference.

Now greenies, she will do a handstand for greenies

[joanbertis]

LOL cowhides are not for treats!

i think he's getting it confused with RAWhides

[moredasers]

My guy loves this piece of leather I got for his spring pole. It's also the most durable thing we've had.

If you have an Atwoods or tractor supply/farm supply type store, or even a saddle shop or shoe repair place, you can get scrap leather for cheap. I got a bag at Atwoods for 5 dollars.

oh ya keep em wraped up or they will dry out!

[Shipsyspeepay]

Every dog I've offered a flirt pole to with a cowhide has went crazy.
Like jeoestreich said they are doggie crack! lol Even my Samson who is NOT a toy/playing type dog will get active for a cowhide.
I thought about ordering some...but I'll just wait until a show and pick up one or two instead of having to buy in bulk.
Also FYI they STINK. They smell like a...well...like a cow! lol

[zdoppiklonikaa]

Current interest 0 lol... That was late and i just took 1 out of the box Titan sniffed it walked away lol.. Going to try it on the pole tonight

There is NO WAY I would let my Pibbuls have a stuffed toy. They have managed to start taking bites off their heavy rubber Kong bones. A stuffed animal wouldn't last five minutes with them. And as has been said there is the danger of ingestion of the contents of said toys. Not worth the vet bill...
