shoemonster Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Saw this thread and it promted me to type this post http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...=127753&hl= I've been using the Kong Wubbas for training, my 2 love them I use the thick material ones for obedience and when they go swimming I've got the water wubba for when they are in a dam, river etc http://www.dogtoys.com/kongwubba.html I have the large ones and just bought 2 small ones today to use in class as the large one is hard to fit in a pocket. My staffords love them and using them at training they havent even managed to wreck them! I'm sure if I left them to chew on them unsupervised they could wreck them but as a trainign toy they are great. The water ones arent as tough, and I've gone through a few using them at training til I switched to the other one, but they are great in the water (gee wonder why they call them water wubba :D) What do other people use?

Kavik Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Those look cool! I might get one with a sqeaky as Kaos loves those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yeah I was surprised that they actually last with boof heads using them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lablover Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Funny looking thingos, aren't they. Surprised some/one? of them float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yeah the water ones are made of kind of wet suit material with a hollow rubber ball inside, so they float pretty well So well that a friend ended up swimming in the dam as it floated too far, the dogs couldnt see it and we couldnt throw rocks far enough for them to splash near it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lablover Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I find bumpers all the time at my training spots........pity they are ones I had previously lost or forgotten. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidoney Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Xia's Wubba is one of her totally favourite toys. I'd like a little Wubba for the pocket but with longer "legs" - more to grab onto for tug. Edited February 19, 2008 by sidoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffi Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Wubba is by far the best toy to use in training for both Midge and Laffi . They love chasing it and tugging with it when they bring it back. Laffi is still a little shy about playing outside our backyard but Midge is tugging like crazy during training sessions in our agility and flyball clubs! For a dog that didn't tug at all 6 months ago she came a long way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Did some work with their small wubbas last night, worked great! Very pleased as I'd been worried they wouldnt be as exciting if they were smaller. Were at the local park and when we finished I realised we had an audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 hehe, mum is as impressed with the new toys as the pups are, must try some training with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavik Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 So far this is Kaos's favourite toy. The squeaky is broken though - will have to get another though he still loves it without the squeaky.

shoemonster Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Oh that is cute Kavik!!! Molly would like that Ed is a fussy bugger though I think I've figured out that he likes fabric best, or tennis ball type stuff rather than rubber. Molls isnt fussy at all Rex, if molly hasnt managed to destroy it, its pretty good I dont leave them with them, they are only used for training but even still they have lasted longer than I thought Edited February 20, 2008 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I LOVE the wubba's! I have a large material one - I got that before I saw they came in 'puppy' size. The puppy sized ones are great for training as you can stuff it in your pocket or wherever and it is quite discrete. Yet, when you pull it out the dog can still have a great tug on it - and it is quite durable too! Both my dogs love it.... and as Laffi said - you can throw it and then when they bring it back - tug with it. Very similar to the way I use the orbee, but easier to hide etc . I want to get a snuggler wubba when I can.... ie: when I have more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
