K9 Dog Bite Tug Toy - Made of Durable & Tear-Resistant French Linen - Perfect for Tug of War, Fetch & Puppy Training - Ideal for Medium to Large Dogs - Tough Pull Toy with Strong Handle & Stitching

We got this for our almost 3 month old GSD puppy. She especially loves to do "drive by chomps" when we take her out to potty. This has been a huge lifesaver, we walk with it alongside us & have her play with it, and can throw it for her to play as well. She has chewed the handle and tug portion...yes I know that is not meant to be chewed, but this has saved our clothes and hands, legs, etc. As she grows we will be playing with her with it more as a tug toy. But for now this is a very happy distraction that has held up very well, with only a few slight signs of wear. It is made really well! I highly recommend this item.

My pit mix loves to tug. He’ll bring me any one of his toys expecting a tug of war match but it is always hard to hold onto things as he is so strong. The loop on this toy works wonders for keeping your grip. Also the toy has been holding up with no rips or tears after months of use. It may be different if you let your dog chew on it (which isn’t the intention for this toy) but my dog doesn’t even show an interest in chewing on it in the first place. That could be because the orange part which they hold onto in their mouth is pretty thick & isn’t that squishy. Nonetheless, it’s stated clearly on the instructions what this toy should be used for & It works extremely well for it!

As the product says, don't leave it out. So if you're comfortable picking this up when you're done playing with it you should find it durable. My dog chewed off the handle the first time I forgot, but the rest of it is holding up OK. We can still play without the handle.

I’ve had this for a week and had at least 10 to 15 minutes of daily tug with my 76 lb golden retriever. He’s demolished many rope toys and I’ve been concerned about him eating the frayed ends, so figured I’d try a different material. This toy seems very durable and my dog loves it! My only complaints are that it could afford to be a bit longer, and the handle gets uncomfortable fairly quickly for me. If the handle were a little longer or wider, this would be the perfect tug toy!Updated 03/23/20: 1.5 months in and the handle is torn, and I’m not surprised. Hoping that I can tie it to a rope and continue to use this toy because Ziggy is obsessed.Updated 01/25/21: Nearly a year and going strong. Ziggy doesn’t play with this daily now, but he still thrashes and chews on this toy every now and then. Not a single fray. I still wouldn’t leave him unattended with it, but I’m impressed. Wish it was offered in a longer length. I’d buy more.

Very tough tug toy my dog usually has these things torn up and this thing is very durable great for playing tug

This tug toy is perfect for most dogs; the material is tough, the stitching is tight, and the handle is comfortable enough for extended tug sessions. The problem in my case is that it's still proving to be no match for Winnie, an 11-month-old, roughly 60-pound Borderdoodle with a tug-of-war obsession.Tug-of-war is the driving force in Winnie's life. She'll choose it over food, treats, tennis balls, frisbees, squeaky toys, chasing squirrels, barking at cats, butt scratches, back scratches, ear scratches -- you name it. Roughly a dozen times a day, she sits by the fridge and just **stares** at me, not because she wants leftover chicken or string cheese, but because she knows I store these tugs on top of it. If I leave them anywhere else, she will find a way to get them (as you can see from her scheming as I took the pictures).Winnie's a formidable opponent, and ends up destroying lighter-duty tugs like ropes in a couple of days, despite the fact that I never let her play with them unsupervised (otherwise she'll pull out all the loose end threads, one at a time). These tugs have proven to be the most durable ones I've found thus far, and she really loves playing with them because I can get such a solid grip with the loop sewn into them. They're also terrific for bonding because we're pretty much face-to-face the entire time since I usually sit on the floor with her to play.We play 3-4 times a day, for 10-20 minutes at a time. At that rate, these tugs are lasting roughly 5 days each. Each of them ends up tearing in the exact same spot on "her end" of the toy. It starts as a few loose threads on day 2 or day 3. I then cut the threads off because her canine teeth get caught in the loops, and I worry that the thread is strong enough to accidentally pull a tooth out. This buys us a few more sessions before the seam is eventually completely torn and the stuffing starts coming out. Time to unwrap a new one.While these may very well be the best tug available, they're unfortunately turning out to be a very expensive recurring cost -- I'm paying roughly $80/month at current Amazon pricing, and that's just not sustainable. I'll continue to search for something that's up to the challenge, and in the meantime I'll do what I can to extend the life of these toys. They really are the best I've found, even if they're no match for Winnie at this stage of her life.

updating review and buying again! The stitching is finally, UNDERSTANDABLY going out after 1.5 years of use. I am happy with that for the price.Original review: This tug has worked great with our puppy, we only use it for interactive play (tugging and fetch), the dog is never allowed to chew on it, enjoy it alone, or use it for anything other than interacting with us. I also make an effort to make her re-grip if she get just the tip or the handle as it's logical it would fail early if you let them chew or latch on to those areas.I think if you are mindful with it, this tug toy should do great and last a while

The first time I used this for training with my Belgian Malinois the blue strap broke off the orange body. I was on a deployment when it arrived and just got back home 3 days ago, so only now opened the box and tried it out with the dog. Naturally, the 30 day return window closed YESTERDAY so I’m stuck with it. For the money I’d definitely expect better. And yes, I know it’s not a chew toy. That’s not what I was using it for today.

I read the reviews for many tug toys and liked the material used for these K-9 Tug Toys. Since my large breed dog is still a puppy and my hands aren’t that sturdy, I wanted a material that was soft but rugged enough to stand up to a very determined pup whose still learning. The French linen is thick and appears to be quite resilient. I can handle the tug and hang on during some strong tugging without hurting my hands. I initially purchased the tug to work on our retrieval and develop his eagerness to turn over items. That’s going so much better with the tug rather then focusing on balls/toys. Because my Golden has been mouthing since the day I brought him home, I’ve started redirecting his “bite” to the tug when he gets overexcited on walks. The K-9 tug is light weight -the handle & tug are both soft and easy to carry. My 8 month old pup is very tall/strong and I’m 5’2” with limited strength. I needed a tug toy I could hang onto comfortably with one hand while he bit down. I find the handle a little too thin and smooth to hold while he’s biting or tugging because it cuts in to my hand.This is a great tool for working with your dog. It costs more then others on the market but it’s worth it for me because it’s easy to hold. The stitching is good and the ends are very well sealed with repeated sewing passes. I hope the K-9 Tug Toy holds up because my pup loves it and it’s really helping with his training. Thanks for producing such a high quality product. Please continue to make them available on Amazon.ca.

Mon chien l'adore. Un bon jouet pour jouer en interaction avec son chien. Ne pas lui laisser seul.

Sehr stabil und gut verarbeitet, für den Einsatz bei größeren Hunden (Cane Corso) zu empfehlen. Würde es immer wieder kaufen.

Ho acquistato questo manicotto per allenare il mio cane al riporto in acqua, ma sono rimasto deluso perché il prodotto non galleggia

Resistente y material no lesivo para el animal.
