    Haha - it'll be fab, you'll see. Although, with a slightly older dog (I think I started my mobile pets at home impression around August 14) it did take a little while. I had terrible trouble with tug at first, and had to really build it up gradually.

    oh I'm desperate to try whippit with Monty, I had found my lunge whip and everything - but on hold for a few months unfortunately - unless I can get him to do a walking version of it ?!

    er...no. :) I can't see that working.

    I think this is good time to say that with even a moderately keen dog, it's pretty intense exercise, is quite explosive exercise, and involves a fairly sharp deceleration to catch the toy and often sharp turns (depending on the handling) - so I think it probably shouldn't be overdone with young pups or dogs with old injuries.

    yep, I'll keep that lunge whip in my amazon basket until further notice! I couldn't be trusted with it in the house ;)
