It seems like the easiest way is to get a horse lunge whip and tie a hide or toy on the end. You can get one at any horse supply store. They're around $10 - 15 here.

Yep. Your local hardware store. Some cotton rope and a 5 foot long wooden broom handle. Very durable. Jus drill a hole in the handle, thred the rope tie a knot in the end. Then tie a favorate toy on the other. And vala a cheap flirt pole. Mine was 8$ I already had the toy good luck. And have fun.

This is what I did. Cost me less than $10.

You can also use a length of pvc pipe, thread the rope through and tie the toy to the end.

I was going to get the lunge whip. But I'm afaid Bella will snap the end when she catches her toy. I've looked at them the tips are very thin. May work well with a less zellos dog. Mones kind crazy.

Old fishing poles work pretty well also.

I kinda thought so too, but I've used it with two extremely zealous 90-ish pound dogs and it always springs back. Those whips are very very springy.

I'm very tempted there's a Very Bright Pink one at the tractor supply that will match her collar and leash perfactly lol. Ohh and her toy is a pink and grey 2ft or so long rope toy. So wvery thing will match. I'm nuts as well. cuz I don't even like pink :rollseyes: does that say something
