Won't hurtr her. All dogs play. But don't pick her off the ground by her teeth.

Reply:no it makes em stronger when she's older it may pay off to be softer with her, also give her food which helps strengthen teeth

Reply:it will cause your teeth to become loose, the dog will be fine.
Reply:As long as ur feeding it right and taking care of it well, they will fall out if its playing tug of war against a dump truck, otherwhys its fine, let it play tug of war, just not way too rough
Reply:It's bad for puppies, because it can make their teeth crooked. But as far as adult dogs go, there's no problem with that. Dogs use their teeth for everything.
Reply:No it shouldn't dogs teeth tend to be alot stronger than humans. It's how they pick things up. Every dog I know loves tug of war.
Reply:no it is ok it will make her teeth really strong but give her good food and dont over do it and if she is old then dont do it at all
Reply:What breed is it? Tugging does not hurt their teeth. If she is young you will notice some bleeding when she starts losing her teeth but don't fret. I have American Bulldogs and they play tug and will hang from a tree for up to 10 minutes. Superior jaw strength. It's not harmful at all
Reply:This will not harm her teeth, although it may cause her to because a bit more aggressive. If a dog believes that they can fight you for a toy, then it is no longer a priviledge for them to play with the toy, they believe it is theres to begin with. But rest assured, her teeth will stay put. No dog will play until their teeth fall out, she'll relent and give you the toy first.
Reply:Yes it may pull some of her teth but then again some puppies do lose their teeth just like humans, a few of them anyways.


Yes picking up your pup when it is holding on a rag may not only harm her teeth but her spine and her jaws.


Anything that could harm a human chld will harm a dog especially a puppy.


Tug of war is fun for the dog and if done right along with other traiing it does bond the dog to you.


Remember though you are the Alpha in a dog human realtionship, and every dog should be trained to "Drop IT" at your command.


Actually better if you use one word, "Drop" would suffice and always the same word.


I( have saved many a puppys teeth and have them in a little jar.


Wierd huh?
Reply:I would not play tug of war, because that gives the dog a chance to challenge your authority. I would pick them up by the ears like our political god, the amazing, intelligent, and sensational Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th president of the United States used to do. Incidentally, Beagles are the best kind of dogs for this sort of activity and while I was doing this, I would yell out at the top of my lungs, ALL THE WAY WITH LBJ! Just like I used to do in the old days. Incidentally in that connedtion, if old LBJ was in the White House, then he would know what to do and we would not be in the mess that we are in now.
Reply:It will make her teeth stronger, but when you play with her make sure that you win always that'll teach her that you are boss!
Reply:LOL. Ok pulling her by her teeth will cause her to damage them. But did you know dogs have two sets of teeth? "milk teeth" are their first set of teeth which they lose in a couple of months. I recommend you take it easy on the tug-of-war untill she's older, but it should cause her teeth to fall out.
