Default Flirt pole?

Where can I find a flirt pole? I've looked at petsmart and southern agriculture (a local animal store) and neither one of them have one. In fact, the lady that helped me at the latter suggested that I make one out of a fishing pole, an option I was considering.

Our 9 week old Daisy is in the throes of the landshark stage, and the more exercise we can give her, the less blood is shed.

I found mine at Petvalu

You can buy a lunge whip off amazon.ca pretty cheap and just tie a toy onto it

Default Make one, instead...

...I made mine out of about 15 - 20 ft. of half inch diameter manilla rope, a six foot length of schedule 40 PVC pipe of 3/4 diameter a couple of knots tied in the rope (one at one end and the other after the rope was threaded through the pipe about 10 ft. from the end) and an old toy the dog now ignores.

He don't ignore it anymore, hahahaha.

I could have made one, but bought this one. And I'll say, it's actually pretty well made...

Default Flirt pole?

We made our own! Old broom handle a few bunge cords tied together and a de-stuffed ratty animal! Don't forget the tired pup at the end

I have a long one made from a horse lunge whip. I just bought a short riding whip, so we can play in the house. I admit, we play with the long one in the house. We haven't broken anything - yet.

You might be lazy, but I'm cheap. We should get together. LOL!
