The flirt pole is one of the most powerful tools you can use to drain energy, build impulse control, and strengthen your dog’s focus—all in a controlled, structured way. 🐾 Most owners think it’s just a “fun game,” but if you use it correctly, it becomes a serious behavior-shaping tool. Dogs instinctively love the chase, but what matters isn’t just the running… it’s the stopping. The pause. The stillness. The moment your dog chooses discipline over instinct. That’s where training truly happens.
