Should we play tug of war

[glen]

Been told today we shouldnt play tug of war as it encourages bad behaviour.We always played this with our rotties and never had any agression.When we tell him to leave he does this immediatly and lets gur 2 year old grandaughter can take toys off him which is always supervised.Hes 16 weeks so any advice before we carry this play on would be greatly appreciated.

Not so much when they are that young. It's bad for ligaments.

i agree abit too young but when he gets older make sure u have boundaries when playing teach drop it r leave it r some kind of commend to let go n not to bite your hands when taking away toys

I'd say if you've had rotties that could play tug nicely - you probably know what you're doing!
