A 66cm bungee tug with an internal pocket you fill yourself — treats, a squeaker, or an empty plastic bottle for crinkle. That is the point of it: a dog who is bored of the same tug toy usually is not bored of tugging, just of the toy, and being able to change what is inside keeps the reward interesting. It also gives you a food-free reward for a dog who works better for play. Not a chew toy: the bungee and neoprene are built for two-ended play under supervision, and a dog left alone with it will destroy it.
The soft bite area is 30cm long by 14cm wide and the bungee absorbs the jolt, so tugging is easier on your dog's neck and your shoulder. Sizes are approximate. Similar in job to the Chase & Crinkle and the Chase & Treat. See the whole Coachi training range.
Features
- Fillable internal pocket — treats, a squeaker or a crinkly plastic bottle, so the reward can be varied
- Strong bungee — takes the shock out of a tug, gentler on the dog's neck and your arms
- Soft neoprene handle — comfortable through a long play session
- Dimensions — 66cm overall, bite area 30cm x 14cm (approximate)
- Play as a reward — an alternative to food for dogs who prefer a game
How to Use
- Load the pocket before the session and change the contents between sessions to keep it novel.
- Use it only in interactive play, then put it away. Treating it as a special reward is what keeps it motivating.
- Let the dog win regularly — a tug the dog never wins stops being worth playing.
- Keep the tugging low and horizontal; do not lift a dog off the ground by the toy.
