Looks like your dog enjoys doing this.
I know I prefer the video of your dog running after the ball. I prefer watching our dogs use all 4 of their legs to RUN! Getting their exercise that way. Just watching them bite and use their mouths/necks is something I'm more used to seeing pitbull dog trainers do to buildup their muscles for that look.

yes she enjoys it a lot ,,,i know , some people thinks that the srpingpole is stupid, but its a excelent excercise for the jaw and neck , pitbulls are most used for this but i think agerman shepherd can do it very good too , and of course she runs a lot , we live in a small farm , we have 12h so she can run the whole day if she wants and hunt rabbits , birds and play , soon im gonna post a video of her jumpoing , she jumps very good

Around here the only ones that do that, that I've ever seen, are the dog fighting crowd. If the dog enjoys it, I suppose why not. Certainly looks like she enjoys it!
Why do they have such heavy chains on in the photo? |

I agree the spring pole is a great form of exercise. I see plenty of people in not only my area, but also all over the forums I am on. It does strengthen the jaw and shoulders. It is not something only dog fighters do.
Good for you for keeping your dogs exercised, stimulated and fit.

You are doing it the right way by allowing her back legs to be able to touch the ground. Cool vids
I personally prefer the flirt pole with non-bully breeds. Have you thought about doing Schutzhund with Maya? She has a pretty good bite and hold!
