I absolutely LOVE this flirt pole! My dog absolutely LOVES this flirt pole! It’s so much better than the heavier, bulkier, or telescoping ones I’ve tried. I’m so glad a company has come out and made a lightweight one that’s so easy to use. My do obsesses over it, and will chase till he falls over if I let him. I would give 6 STARS if I could. I love it so much, I even bought my neighbor one. Great job Whimsy Stick on creating such an awesome flirt pole!
This thing is a game changer for playing with our dog. He’s a border collie, so lots of energy. He loves this thing, and it wears him out. The look on his face every time we bring it out is pure happiness and excitement. Great dog toy!
The stick is beautiful and very valuable, my feedback is this: the string could be about 3 foot longer, and the box that it sent in should be stronger because it’s square box and it bends. But the tool is wonderful.
This thing is a lifesaver. We have an extremely active working dog mix 6 month old puppy and 5 minutes of this tires him out. Highly recommend this. I evaluated other options and this by far is the best as it is lightweight, longer (pole and line) and feels like it is made well. So far no issues.
This has been a great outlet for our dog. It keeps him engaged, excited, and is one of the few things that can actually tire him out. It’s also been a great training tool.
This was a great purchase! It works great for my boyfriend’s pittie lab mix – she’s constantly overflowing with energy and this is one of the only toys that tires her out 👍
Great training tool! We have used this with our puppy for the past six months and have found it to be very useful for his training as well as for his playtime. He loves it! Highly recommend giving it a try.
One of the best flirt pole I have gotten for my dog he loves it
I love this light weight Flirt Pole!!! Our dog is super hyper and this pole wears him out in 5 minutes! It’s easy for me to handle even at my age, 74.
It’s truly amazing! Life changing since our dog doesn’t fetch. She is also not good with other dogs so now we can get some exercise in our backyard. My dog is a pit mix, strong girl and when she grabs the toy, I stop pulling and she let it go to start all again!
If you’re looking for a fun and very tiresome game for your fur friends? Then this is the toy for you! I’ve loved the Whimsy Stick, since it was first introduced to me. I highly recommend this product. Not only will you be happy, but your pet bond towards you will deepen with every playtime.
