Rabbit fur tug and leash

Post by katm4110 »

The rabbit fur tug and leash came today! Stella loves the tug... as soon as she noticed that fur she went nuts... she's currently whining at the cupboard that I put it in... Someone on here recommended TilliesTuggies from Etsy.... they're great. I had then about a week after I ordered and they were custom made. Stella has never been a big fan of tug but she wore me out today! Can't wait to try out the leash later!

That is SO awesome! I'm so glad she loved it. Tug games help you build so many other behaviors and allow you to work her in drive! What a great reaction on her part!

Hi there, I have been looking for a good tug toy for my Kai. She is almost 1 (in a week!) and loves to play tug but her strong jaw destroys everything! I bought the Kong tug which is harder rubber but just playing a few times the part that Kai bites down on to hold started to break. Her bite is incredible and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on other tug toys...is the rabbit fur tug strong? Also, is there a right and wrong way to play tug with them? Thanks in advance for any responses

This is made out of fleece and so far so good. It has a bit of stretch to it so that helps. It was only $12 on Etsy so I figured it was worth a try and we love it. I just never let her run off with it and chew on it. I use tug to get her wound up and ready to work on commands. It's one of her favorite toys so I always put it up while she's still excited and wanting to play..... so she really wants it when I pull it out again. We also play tug as a reward when she does her commands properly.
