  • Colours: natural, clay, moss

Put it away when play is over. A rope that is chewed quietly in a corner can come apart; a rope used for tug with a person usually lasts much longer.

Why rope?

Because it gives a dog something to hold without encouraging them to mouth a hand. The braid is tight enough that the strands do not separate immediately, and the knots give a satisfying end to grab. It is also one of the few toys that survives being dragged through a damp garden and then washed.

How to use it

Use it for short tug sessions, then let the dog win and put the toy away. Do not pull hard against a puppy’s neck or teeth. If a strand comes loose, cut it back rather than letting the dog swallow it. Supervise the first few sessions until you know how your dog plays.

Care

Machine wash in a mesh bag on a cool cycle, then air dry. Cotton shrinks a little; the rope will soften with use. If it starts to smell of the garden, that is your cue.
