Most
dogs treat tug as a cooperative game – it’s no fun unless both parties have
hold of the toy. And you can use tug to teach your dog to be super careful with
his teeth (the game should end if teeth touch clothes or skin! Too bad!). To let go of
something on cue. To wait till you give permission to grab the toy again. And
to respond to your cues even when excited. However,
playing tug without set rules can crank up an excitable dog till he’s out of
control. And it’s unwise to play tug with a dog who has certain behavioral
problems – for example, possessiveness over toys. Tug of War in and of
itself, however, does not condition your dog to be aggressive.
