Do ya'll think tug-o-war is too much for a puppy @ age 13 wks? I wont like me her aggressive or anything will it?

If anything it's giving her a little work out while you playing with her on her neck, jaws and shoulder muscles! You do have to be-careful with her baby teeth. If you'll pull to hard they will come out!

HI

Tug is fine just don't do it too hard or you'll be popping out the puppy teeth.
Puppies within a litter will even play tug together starting very young.

It does not make a dog aggressive that is a myth.

It is actually also a good time to teach the out command IMO.

i c...well then imma keep workin on givein her the drop it command. cuz what i do is toss it for her to get it along with tug o war. so i sorta make her work for it cuz she has to sit before i will toss it.

Using the pup's natural drive like that is one of the best ways to train IMO
