Flirt poles are a terrific option, especially for high drive dogs, as most dogs like chasing. Your dog will get a lot of activity from a brief 5-minute game with a flirt pole.

Use PVC pipe as the rod if you have any lying around. If not, you can create one as I did in the yard using a long stick. You’ll also need some rope or bungee cord, which can be purchased from hardwood supply stores. If you want to avoid jerking your dog’s neck when they catch the toy, you might use rope. Anything from a plush animal to an empty water bottle can be considered “prey.”

If you’re cheap like me, connect your bungee or rope material to the end of the pole instead of threading it through the PVC. You should have the rod at least three to five feet away from you. If you’re using PVC, tie a knot in one end of it so that it won’t come undone when being thrown around.

You’ll have extras for later projects if you follow the instructions.
