Tug of war is beneficial for dogs for several reasons:

1. Physical Exercise- It provides an excellent form of exercise, helping to burn off excess energy and maintain a healthy weight.

2. Mental Stimulation- The game challenges a dog's problem-solving skills and encourages focus, which can be mentally stimulating.

3. Bonding- Playing tug of war strengthens the bond between you and your dog, fostering trust and teamwork. This also builds confidence.

4. Natural Instincts- It allows dogs to engage in a behavior that aligns with their natural instincts to tug and pull, making it a satisfying activity.

5. Training Tool- The game can be a fun way to reinforce commands such as "drop it" or "out," promoting good behavior. This is also a great way to work on structured play.

6. Stress Relief- Engaging in play can help reduce anxiety and stress, providing an outlet for pent-up energy.

Overall, when played with rules and boundaries, tug of war can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for both dogs and their owners.

We are excited to welcome Jennifer to the team! Jennifer will be available to board in her home! 🐾

Hi! I’m Jennifer Capalbo—a lifelong animal lover and passionate advocate for our furry friends. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and that love has only deepened over the years. Today, I own dogs and have the privilege of fostering for rescues, gaining hands-on experience with a variety of breeds. In my downtime, you’ll often find me getting outside—whether it’s hiking, exploring nature, or simply enjoying quality time with my own pups. My commitment to animal rescue drives everything I do, and I’m dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of animals and our community.
