Little Butch 16 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've made my Dog a Springpole which Is hung off a Basketball Hoop on the Wall with a Bike Innertube as the Spring.. Seems to work well enough The only thing I'm having problems with Is the Hide and Rope. I had It tied on by a bit of thick String which snapped, then I used some thicker Rope which the Dog's chewed through! And the Hide Is a Rope tied to a big knot which seems to be holding upto the wear and tear but the Dogs Teeth get stuck In It which Isn't good. So, how do you guys do It?

Tuzo 251 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 If your going to use the basketball bracket you'll need a spring somewhere between it and the hide. If you cant get hide then try and get some fire hose....not the rubber type mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Butch 16 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've used a BMX Innertube as the Spring And I've now tied an old Leather Glove on as the Hide, seems to be working well. I'll get a Video up later. Butch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,508 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 It's higher now than It was In that Video How long do you think I should let Her on It at once? And how many times a Day/Week? Butch You dont want it too much higher than that.......having the dog swinging around in the air might look impressive but its not getting anywhere near as much of a workout as it is when feet are on the ground.....20 mins - half hour a day is plenty........better to have an intense 20 minutes than a lazy hour.....and the more you do it the less desire the dog will have to work it with full intensity......main thing is keep them feet on the deck ......might be as well with some sort of matting underneath her for grip....
