Does anyone know how to make a tug toy?
I’m getting ready to start training my dog for flyball, and a big part of it is getting them really amped about a long tug toy. I have been looking for one I like and haven’t found any. Then I read you could make them, which I should have known. But it didn’t tell you haw to make one…. Does anyone know? or what about a place to get a good tug toy? My dog loves to tug, I just want one that keeps my hands a little farther away from her…
First, the warnings:
1. Never leave the dog unattended with any toy if it is a heavy chewer. Even Kongs can splinter and shred and cause illness or injury.
2. The industrial Kongs (black tire material) are much better for heavy chewers/tuggers.
*To make Your Own toy:
Buy 2 small-medium Kong toys, I’m talking the black Heavy Duty Medium Size.
With a hacksaw, carefully cut off some of the top to create a larger hole.
Buy 2 yards of fake fleece material, the synthetic sheepskin. It will be 40-60? wide. Cut it the long way, into 72? long strips, about 3? wide each.
Take the 3 strips,hold them together and tie a knot in one end. Then braid. About 8? down, tie a knot. Feed the ends (the unbraided, unknotted ends) through the KONG you modified, then tie another knot to hold it all snug.
Continue braiding.
About a foot from the end, tie another knot. Slide the ends through the second modified KONG, knot. Finish braiding to the end, and knot.
Now you have a tug the dog can really sink his teeth into. The synthetic sheepskin is very durable, the kongs add weight and a better grip for a large mouthed dog.
Hope this helped you out =D
