    Try running it along the ground and not necessarily keep her jumping into the air for it. Let her catch it and tug on it to reward her for going after it, and keep your sessions short at first to keep her interested.

    Yes, put some cowhide at the end of that flirt pole...Some dogs love it and go crazy for it..

    keep it short, like less than 5 min... let the pup catch it after a min of chasing it....your not working em, just showing em how to work......keep it fun and take it away from em while they still want it.....

    Yes don't over do it... But introduce her to the flirt pole and spring pole... You can get cowhide at Stillwater Kennel Supply

    I use a rectangle of carpet folded over and tied together through the ends for the flirt pole and spring pole when I'm out of hide.cheap alternative and teeth don't get stuck in it like other materials.
