Viper Synthetic K9 Tug Toy Reward with Two Handles for Adult Dogs and Puppies. Ruber Handles, Blue, 12 x 2

Purchased 2 at the same time.Seems very durable, as long as you do not let the dog chew on it on its own aside from training purpose, that's not what a tug toy is meant for.I got two at the same time, so they both is the same age and have the same smell, to mainly train my dog to OUT.I got the 12" x 2" red for an 8+ months old female German Shepherd mix 55lb doggy(I would've preferred a bright yellow to try), which has two partial rubberized handles, the rubberized is a nice touch. I soon realized that I needed to cut off one handle from each, because the dog sometimes tends to bite on one of the free handles.To teach the dog to OUT, throw one and command the dog to get it, while hiding the other behind your back, play tug with him for a bit and then let go, tell him OUT, once he lets go, then throw the other and do the same over and over.Either as a training tool or just to play tug with the dog, dog loves it. So far, after many sessions, no problems with wear and tear at all.

I train German Shepherds for dog sports. This tug toy is a great improvement over the ones I’ve been using. The French linen cover is easier on my senior dog’s teeth. I especially like the rubberized handles. They’re easier to hang on to without gloves, and their sewn on in a way that keeps the handles from collapsing closed.This is the best tug toy I’ve found on the Internet. I’m going to order two more of them!

Our young shelter dog has a habit of wanting to grab at the end of the rope your hand is on. Our trainer recommended this tug toy for a couple reasons- 1) you can hold it by both ends which makes it easier to manipulate and 2) the handled at the end are less enticing for the dog to grab than the middle. We've still had to teach our dog not to grab the ends, but he seems to really enjoy this toy. It has held up to his pitbull strength, not ripping or falling apart. We opted for the longest one to give us more room.

My 2 border collie pups ripped this apart in less than 5 minutes. No kidding. I know because I had just put dinner in the oven when I gave it to them and I looked at the timer. They destroyed it in less time than it took for me to order it.

Good reward/distraction tug toy for my German Shepherd! The material feels high quality. This toy wouldn’t be good for the dog to chew on for long periods of time, it would probably rip.Great for the purpose of training/reward!

My dog is protection trained and I needed something for her to refresh herself on that she wouldnt just tear through ( seriously, this dog has massive jaw strength) and this works perfectly!! She loves it and took to her training beautifully. Well worth the money, very sturdy. I've bought bite bags/pillows before and she just obliterates them, and this one is still going strong. No damage yet.

I bought the small and it’s huge. My Frenchie won’t be able to play with this. It is very well made just way too big.

German shepherd loves this. It’s nice and firm. Handles are a bit long but he still loves it

My German Shepherd really likes this tug toy. It’s very durable and she has not tried to destroy it, however, I only use it for her training. When finished with training or play it gets put away otherwise she probably would just lay and chew on it. When I get it out she can’t wait to play with it
