While tug-of-war is fun, and there can be many benefits related to tug games, as with anything else. Dogs that have a history of aggression (toward animals or humans) can often take tug games too seriously. In those cases, there are better options for games. High-arousal dogs that can’t settle down and tend to become over stimulated are also not the best candidates for tug games.

There are several steps to initiating tug-of-war with your dog in a safe way. To begin, the tug game should be initiated by you. If the dog appears to be over stimulated, obsessed, or is overly aggressive about grabbing the toy, you should take charge and end the game. In tug-of-war, the dog should always be well trained and under control enough that he will follow your command to release the toy. One of the most important things about tug-of-war is to always let the dog win. Also, if you are playing tug with a puppy, keep in mind that his jaws are not fully matured, and he still has baby teeth. You should only do very gentle pulling, if any at all, and keep the game short.
