I play tug of war with Schatzie and Annabelle. However I am ALWAYS the last one holding the toy. (sometimes i have to hang on for awhile until they drop it). Letting them keep the toy tells them they are dominating their owner.

So, anyways I have read that it's best to be the one who "wins" the toy to teach the pet you are dominate over them.
