Product Description
Killer Rings are ideal motivators for dogs that love to chase, toss and kill toys. They are particularly suitable for those dogs which may not be interested in rubber or plastic toys and may have sensitive mouths (sometimes called "soft mouths") and do not like holding heavy or hard items in their mouth - particularly if it tastes and smells strongly of rubber or chemicals.
They have been specifically designed by Dog-Games to fulfill various instincts in dogs - without endangering animals and birds, which are dogs natural prey.
The contrast of light and dark colours, as well as the constant movement of the flaps, awakens a dog's instincts to chase and kill the toy - mimicing a bird's flapping wings and feathers as the dog holds the soft toy in its mouth.
Be careful not to move and shake the Killer Ring too much - if the dog is unable to get near the toy it will become frustrated and give up playing the game. Remember this is not a competition between handler and dog - allow the dog to get it!
The soft texture of the fleece fabric is very appealing to many dogs who enjoy chewing and gripping it with their teeth. This need to hold objects between their teeth can be caused by a build up of tension in their jaw muscles when they are over excited. They release this tenseness and tension into the Killer Ring and thus reduce the build up of adrenaline in their body. However, please be aware that excessive playing with this toy can also increase your dog's excitement levels, so it is up to you, the handler, to maintain a happy medium when playing with this toy.
It is recommended that Killer Rings are only used when handlers want to play and interact with their dogs (ie using them as motivators when training) and dogs should not be left alone with these fleece toys - they are very chewable!
The soft fleece flaps prevent the dog injuring itself (particularly around the head and eyes) when the dog is shaking and playing with it. The length of the flaps (or "feathers") may vary in size to that shown in photo.
The Killer Ring can either be used by itself or tied to a piece of rope (or a lead) and dragged along the ground for the dog to chase and "kill". Many handlers undo the big knot which holds the ring together and then re-tie it so that it hangs on the handle of the lead, ready to be used when required.
We strongly recommend that while your dog is playing with the Killer Ring, you quietly reach out to touch the top of its harness. This will enable you to get hold of your dog, particularly if it is "hand shy" and does not want to be caught to be put on a lead.
Introduce the toy to the dog by playing with it at home, then when it is really keen to play with you you can then take it out on walks as well.
After a while your puppy or dog will begin to look forward to having its harness held as it knows it will then play Killer Ring games with you - never mind if sometimes the lead is put on afterwards... "It is worth the gamble", your dog will be thinking!
If your dog shows no interest in the fleece toy, smear it with a tiny amount of sticky food (such as cheese spread, pate, meat or fish paste, peanut butter, etc). Rub it well into the fleece and this wll encourage your dog to mouth and hold on to it. If the Raggit starts to become smelly or dirty just pop it in the washing machine (and tumble drier, if you wish) and it will be as good as new.
