DGSL Dog Tug Toy Dog Bite Jute Pillow Pull Toy for Small and Medium Dogs

Really like this toy. We have three big dogs and one is a chewer, for sure. The pillow is lasting, the fabric handles on the sides have been chewed off, unfortunately. But normal dogs probably wouldn't eat the handles like mine did. Good product.

My dog loves this, absolutely loves it

Received this item yesterday and already the handles are ripped off. With that being said, I do have a Cane Corso puppy so there aren't many toys he doesn't destroy. I was told this toy would be the one and would be great to train with. The body of the toy is great and still intact (so far), it's just the handles that have been destroyed. It can no longer be used as a "tug" toy but we can at least use it for "fetch." If anyone knows of a Corso durable toy, please let me know! lol

Trained a Malinois pup to adult with one of these. It's very resilient to bite training and an extreme value. This is not a chew toy. A strong chewer will destroy this bite target in one day if unattended. Puppies will try to bite the handles and may need a lot of feedback to bite the pillow instead. As most trainers know, you have to let the dog "win" periodically and take the bite target away from you. This is where some judgement comes in. DO let your dog celebrate their tug of war win, bite it more, whip it around, and run with it. Otherwise, they will get bored and give up. Do NOT let your dog abuse the bite target and try to cut the handles (grinding with molar teeth) or pull seams out. IMO, it's okay to sacrifice the red decorative fabric around the seam. Target is a bit too thick for < 35 lb dogs with a shepherd head anatomy. Try offering the narrow side of the pillow. They will play better once they can get a good bite. Careful with teething puppies. If you're too aggressive with tugging they'll associate tooth discomfort / tooth loss with the game.

I will caveat my negative review by saying my dog is a bit of a beast. He is an 85 pound working line GSD that chews down trees and carries 40 pound logs around the woods for fun. He destroyed this thing in about 10 minutes. The middle of it tore open and was losing stuffing and then the right strap broke while we were playing. The lesson is i need to find a real K9 bite training supply store and buy the item. With that said i have stuff i have bought at the grocery store that has lasted a couple of months. It’s not the end of the world. He is tough on things but if you are thinking this is a good product for a high drive working dog you probably need to look for some real training products designed to take withstand the amount of effort a working dog will put into it.

Hasn’t ripped yet

I've bought other products like this.The texture my dog does not like.

My dog loves this toy out of all his toys. There’s no squeaking while I’m asleep. He loves to play tug with it an it’s strong enough that he won’t tare it up easily.
