Just in time for Valentine’s Day I have a simple and easy DIY that your dog is going to love! My DIY Flirt Pole is an interactive dog toy that entices your dog to chase a fast moving lure. The Flirt Pole is quickly becoming my absolute favorite toy to play with. It’s also a great way to exercise high-energy dogs – and if you have been snowed in for as long as I have this is a must!

Supplies:
- Rope (paracord works great, or anything you have on hand)
- Screw eye
- Fleece Fabric (enough to make 2 25″ x 5″ strips)
- Wood Dowel (5/8″ x 36″)
- Acrylic paint (optional)
Step One: If you want your flirt pole to be extra colorful you may want to paint it. I painted mine to have a silvery finish.
Step Two: Once your paint is dry twist a screw eye into one end of it.
Step Three: Cut your fleece into two 25″ x 5″ strips. Alternatively you could also use an old stuffed toy that your dog loves as well.
Step Four: Tie your rope around the middle of your fleece strips.
Step Five: Braid the ends of your fleece and tie it in a knot at the bottom.
Step Six: Tie the other end of your rope to the screw eye on your dowel. You’re now ready to have a blast playing with your dog!
If you make your dog one toy this year, this should be it. I seriously don’t know how I lived without one for so long!
for Trooper and a new Kong toy for me. Needless to say I confiscated both of them….for testing purposes of course!
Toy (one of my current favorite toys, and thus far indestructible!), 
(I already broke a hole in this one!), a 
(which I must admit I’m a little scared of as it vibrates!), a 
(which I can’t wait to try out it’s floating capabilities at the lake this summer) and several bags of cookies!
