Want An Easy Way To Keep Your Dog Happy And Healthy In Less Than 10 Minutes A Day?
According to a 2012 survey conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 53% of adult dogs were classified as overweight or obese by their veterinarian. In addition to the health concerns, many experts say that lack of exercise is a leading cause of hyperactive and destructive behavior in dogs.
As the adopter of two beloved pit bull dogs, I'm always looking for ways to keep them well exercised. My busy schedule doesn't allow for the long walks recommended by professional dog behaviorists. I read about something called a flirt pole and thought it would be worth trying out. It works by converting the natural prey drive instinct in dogs into exercise as they attempt to catch the lure by sprinting, changing direction, and jumping.
So I bought one of the fiberglass rod flirt poles that are made in China. The good news is that the dogs went crazy chasing the lure. The bad news is that it lasted one day. One chomp on the tip of the rod and the fiberglass broke, splintering in my dog's mouth. I was angry and decided to design my own.
Sure, you can make a simple DIY flirt pole following instructions online. But I didn't want a simple flirt pole, I wanted the best flirt pole possible. So I developed the Squishy Face Studio Flirt Pole, which I truly believe is the ultimate dog exercise toy for busy people. Our Flirt Poles are made in the USA using components tested for durability, strength, safety and light weight.
Here are some features that make our Flirt Pole V2 the best:
- The only flirt pole on the market that uses bungee cord to prevent “whiplash” when lure is caught
- Perfect for people with limited mobility
- Our tough dog toys can be used with dogs of any size
- Also works great as a training tool and provides the mental exercise dogs need
- Regular size flirt pole has a 36” pole section and 52” cord
- Jr size available for smaller play areas with 24" pole and 42" cord
- Includes your choice of durable polyester lures in different color combinations, with or without squeaker
- Easily change lures without the use of fasteners that can injure your dog's mouth
- Lightweight. The Flirt Pole with the included lure weighs less than one pound
- Soft, non-slip grip and wrist strap for easy handling
Imagine a quiet evening at home after a long, grueling day at work. The only sound you hear is an occasional “snort, snort” and the muffled “fruff, fruff, fruff” of dream barking. Your furry best friend is sleeping like a log, tuckered out from playing with the Flirt Pole. You are relaxed too. Comforted knowing that you are helping your four-legged family stay happy and healthy while still having time to put your aching feet up and let your body soak into soft cushions. This could be your night too!
With our One Year No Risk Guarantee, you can return any of our tough dog toys for any reason within one year of purchasing for a full refund, including shipping costs (if applicable). What are you waiting for? Order yours now!

Belgion Mali"gator" tires out
I LOVE this flirt pole for playing with my dog. He's grabbed the actual pole several times and no damage at all to it. Surprisingly, he's grabbed the cord repeated times and it's still in tact. I love this product and it does wear him out!

Best exercise and training tool on the planet
I've been using this flirt pole for over 2 years now and am continually amazed at how well-made and durable it is. It's my favorite way to simultaneously exercise and train my dogs and I love that it can even be used indoors during bad weather. I have a website that sells products for pit bull-type dogs and we have hundreds of happy customers who ditched their dangerous homemade flirt poles and are now addicted to their Squishy Face Studios poles! Excellent customer service and I love that they support rescue and are a small family business like mine!

Wears dogs out
We stock these in our store and we can't keep them in. We recommend them to be used for 10 minutes before bringing dogs to training classes. The dogs are able to concentrate.

Fun Exercise and Training Aid
We provide in-home dog training and recommend these for nearly all of our clients. They are great exercise & can be used to teach the "drop" command. The best part is seeing the delight on owners' faces when they first play flirt with their dogs. It's hard to tell who's enjoying the game more!

Great exercise tool!
My 7 month old English Labrador was not getting enough exercise due to my physical limitations. This has been a wonderful addition to her routine AND she gets very excited when it comes out. She loves playing with it and I have managed to incorporate some obedience training with our sessions.
Very reasonably priced and a valuable addition to our service dog training tool box. -
Just the right toy!
Sara is about 3 and was a stray for quite awhile. She has a strong prey drive, will bolt after anything that moves and become intoxicated by the chase. To make it even harder, she came to me with an old break in her leg that made major surgery necessary - complete with a titanium plate and eight surgical screws. Healing required two months of complete rest, just short. leashed walks to pee and poop. And she's a hyper Border Collie mix. We both were almost psychotic by the time the bone healed. The flirt pole is perfect for her! It's helping me to ramp up her exercise to strengthen her muscles, shift her focus from critters to toys, and she loves it! She learned "flirtie" in less than a day and we play with it several times a day, before every walk. I was going to make one, but yours is better :-)

Finally, something that tires her out!
As a Pitbull Puppy Mom I'm tired of taking so many walks to tire our baby out. This has solved that problem! What a high-quality piece of equipment. Light enough that my arm doesn't get tired. I just wish we had a bigger yard, so she could really get going without crashing into a bush.
