Shop Flirt Poles for Dogs — Engineered for How Your Dog Plays.
When you shop flirt poles for dogs at Whimsy Stick, you get two options — both built to the same premium Kevlar standard, each matched to your dog’s size. Choose the Rugged XL for power breeds 40+ lbs, or the Whimsy Stick Standard for dogs up to 40 lbs.
If your dog is under 40 lbs, shop flirt poles in the Whimsy Stick Standard bundles — starting at $55.95. If your dog is over 40 lbs or has snapped a flirt pole before, the Rugged XL is the flirt pole for dogs built to handle that. Additionally, replacement lures and monthly lure subscriptions are available below both poles. All Whimsy Stick flirt poles ship from Coaldale, Colorado with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Not Sure Which Size?
Two Flirt Poles for Dogs. One for Each Dog.
Both models are premium flirt poles for dogs — the only difference is your dog’s size and how intensely they play. Not sure about your dog’s prey drive? The AKC’s guide to prey drive training is a useful starting point. Additionally, research published on ScienceDirect confirms that structured predatory play significantly reduces stress behaviors in dogs.

“I absolutely LOVE this flirt pole! My dog obsesses over it, and will chase till he falls over if I let him. I would give 6 STARS if I could.”
“This thing is a lifesaver. 5 minutes of this tires out our extremely active working dog mix puppy. Lightweight, longer than other flirt poles, feels well made.”
“Truly amazing! Life changing since our dog doesn’t fetch. My dog is a pit mix — strong girl — and she loves it.”
From the Designer
“When people shop flirt poles for dogs, they’re really shopping for engagement — a way to give their dog’s prey drive a healthy outlet. That’s exactly what I designed Whimsy Stick to do, from Coaldale, Colorado.”
