Grrrrr.....that's exactly my reaction when Mum gets out the tug toy! Why, because I love tugging!

Tugging with my Mum is a really fun activity that we enjoy doing together. It gets me all excited and is really good for getting me revved up for doing one of my other favorite things - Agility! And it's a great way for me to learn control, bond with my Mum, and learn.

Paw around a bit, and find some of our favorite dog tug toys, as well as some great links to learn more about the proper way to tug with your dog! We know your dog will love it, just as much as I do!

Some of my favorite tug toys!

  • Ram Tuff Woolly Octopus Tug Toy
    The Ram Tuff Woolly Octopus Tug is made from genuine sheepskin and is a great toy for teasing and enticing puppies and harder to motivate dogs to play.


  • From the Field Tug-A-Hemp Natural Dog Toy
    The perfect toy for a game of fetch or tug-of-war with your dog, this strong 100% hemp rope is chemical-free, non-toxic and entirely biodegradable. Made in the USA.


  • Ram Tuff Lotta-Bit of Lamb Tug
    The Lotta-Bit of Lamb Tug features a big "bunch" of genuine sheepskin (about 5.5" in diameter) at the end of a super-soft, flexible 7/8" leather handle. This toy is approximately 30" long and gives you the convenience of a long toy (you can drag it on the ground for puppies and smaller dogs), but unlike most long toys, it is easy to bunch up in your hand or stick in a pocket.


  • Spot Skinneeez Stuffing Free Plush Chipmunk
    Skinneeez Stuffingless Dog Toys bring out your dog's natural hunting instinct with our realistic Skinneeez animals. I'm a softie so these are pawsome little tugging toys for small dogs and dogs that don't get too ruff. All Skinneeez toys have 2 squeakers, one in the head and one in the tail for double the fun.

  • A Cheerful Pet Tugzees Dog Toys
    Tugzees all-natural felted wool tug toys are made with natural dyes and textiles. Handcrafted, durable, and machine washable. Each Tugzees toy is a work of art!


  • Tuff E Nuff Bunny Tug Dog Toys
    Real rabbit fur and braided it into one of our most popular fleece tugs to create the Tuff E Nuff Bunny Tug. These dog toys are super comfortable to tug with and the dogs are nuts about them. The Small Tuff E Nuff Sheep Tug is a perfect size to stuff in your pocket for training.


  • Tango Bango Jackpot & Tug Toy
    This clever training toy was designed by Terry Simons. The Tango Bango is made of ballistic nylon. It has a polyfilled "bumper" on the bottom, a food pouch on the top that seals with Velcro, and a nylon handle. The bumper gives the toy just enough weight that it's easy to toss with accuracy when you want to throw your reward.

Tug toys for harder to motivate dogs!

These tug toys have all got something special, just for those harder to motivate dogs, and dogs that are just learning how to tug!

  • NEW - Rip N Tug Treat Dispensing Dog Toy
    The Busy Buddy Rip N Tug is a stimulating, reward-based toy that will keep your dog in the game. The two parts of the ball are lined with Velcro so that the dog can rip the ball in two without actually destroying the toy. Inside each half of the ball is a Velcro pouch that can be filled with your dog's favorite treats.

  • Bottle Rapper Dog Toy
    Lots of dogs love to play with plastic water and soda bottles, but it's nearly impossible to use these to play interactively with your dog-that is, until the Bottle Rapper.


  • Bunny Jackpot & Tug Toy
    Some dogs need even more stimulation than our other food-stuffable toys provide, so this dog toy incorporates real fur. The heavy-duty ballistic nylon treat pouch is covered with real rabbit fur on one side and seals up tight with Velcro so that you can stuff it with food, squeakers, or whatever else your dog likes.

  • Ultimate Jackpot Tug Dog Toy
    The Ultimate Jackpot Tug features a Velcro-sealed food pouch sewn into the middle of a 2-handled tug toy. The tug toy is made from the same materials as our popular braided leashes-fleece braided together with soft-touch nylon webbing so that it's durable as well as soft to hold and appealing to the dog for tugging. The food pouch is made from heavy-duty black nylon and is 6.75"L x 3"H. A small tab is sewn to one side of the Velcro to make the pouch easy to open for the trainer.

  • 2-Handled Bunny Fur Tug
    The 2-Handled Bunny Fur Tug is made with faux fur plus a real rabbit fur center. 1" nylon webbing runs all the way through the toy for strength and loops into a handle on each end. The double-handled design gives you more leverage and makes it easier for you to tug with your dog. This is a great toy for dogs that need some extra motivation to get interested in playing.

  • Dunkins Stuffer Toy
    Hand-sewn in New Hampshire, Dunkin's Stuffer Toy was designed by the owner of the company to help teach her dog, Dunkin, to tug. This dog toy has a thick faux fur pouch on the end with a Velcro-opening on the side so that you can stuff it with food, squeakers, or whatever else your dog likes.

Tug toys for toughies!

Some pups are rougher than others, so here are some suggestions for tougher tug toys!

  • 2-Handled Leather Bite Bar
    The 2-Handled Leather Bite Bar Tug is a great tug toy for the really aggressive tugger and the double-handle design allows you to get more leverage when tugging.


  • Brite's Bungee Bar Tug Toy
    The "bungee" portion of this toy is a handle made from soft-touch nylon covering two pieces of shock cord. It is designed to act as a shock absorber between you and the dog so that you'll be more comfortable while tugging and to provide exciting resistance to the dog without you actually having to pull hard on the toy.

  • Bumi
    Introducing Bumi (pronounced "boom-ee"), the interactive toy your dog won't want to put down! Bumi is the active dog's dream come true, charged with energetic fun! Bumi is so much more than a tug toy-pull it, flex it, throw it, float it, and repeat


  • Jute Bite Stick with Handle
    This Jute Bite Stick with a Handle is made from strong, high-quality 100% natural jute. Designed for working dogs, the Jute Bite Stick is rolled and stitched, not glued.


  • Kong Ballistic Tug
    Kong Ballistic is a line of tough, plush toys with a unique patented heavy-duty design that makes them more durable than other plush toys. Covered with a soft fleece material, Ballistic toys are cuddly and gentle on teeth and gums. But under the fleece are two additional layers of material: a layer of 600 denier poly with PU coating and a layer of 1050 denier ballistic nylon with PU coating.

  • Wonder Bar Tug Sticks
    Unlike other tug sticks that tend to be either too hard or too soft, the firmness of the Wonder Bar is just right-dogs love to bite it and tug with it. The Wonder Bar Tug Sticks are made of heavy-duty nylon webbing stuffed with polyester fleece fabric and real sheepskin.

  • Suede Boomerang Dog Toy
    The Suede Boomerang dog toy is a great interactive toy for tugging or fetching games. It is easy for dogs to grip and hold in their mouths, and the soft suede texture makes it very appealing to soft-mouthed dogs.
