TETHER TUG DOG TOY

By Friday, June 10, 2016 18 , , , Permalink

When I saw the commercial for a Tether Tug interactive dog toy, you would have thought I just received the keys to a brand new car…

If you follow the antics of Jaxson then you’re familiar with his ability to destroy a toy within minutes of its arrival therefore you can empathize with my excitement.

After cheering and clapping at the television (yes I do that!) I immediately went to their website to check it out…

THEY HAD ME AT –

Do you have a dog with a little TOO much energy?

I was beside myself with the thought of a toy Jaxson couldn’t destroy, wouldn’t get bored with and most of all one that would help release his abundance of energy.

So, I sent the company an email, shared a few of my Jaxson the #destructivedoodle posts, and asked if I could test one out #noshameinmygame

THEIR RESPONSE? –

Thanks for reaching out to Tether Tug about your blog!  We would love to have you check out the Tether Tug, sounds like our XL will be the right size for your guys, although they may be pushing towards the UBER size if they are super strong! Matt

They’re a small company located in the southwest corner of Missouri. The Tether Tug was invented by a father-son duo, inspired by a three legged rescue named Lizzy. Each tug is handmade with lots of love from an office filled with animal lovers.

NOT ONLY IS –

  • Each tether tug toy handmade with multiple material that will allow Jaxson to pull, tug, and spin.
  • They’re available in various sizes and energy levels #shutthedoodledoor

Smallrecommended for dogs under 15 lbs AND it includes a fleece attachment that is easier on smaller mouths and puppies

Medium: designed for pups who are smaller institute but not energy. This size is good for dogs between 16-30lbs

Large: a popular size for dogs 30-60lbs

XLarge: designed for dogs between 60-99 lbs. The XL has a wider base and thicker core to stand up to anything a large active JAXSON can dish out!

Uber: the biggest of them all – for dogs over 100lbs

AND –  if you have small dogs under 30lbs there’s an indoor version that slides under heavy furniture to allow the same tugging action!

INSTALLATION –

Setting this thing up was a breeze. I didn’t do it – but I watched. #DMsupervision

Once erected, I attached the knot rope as well as the tennis ball (tennis ball not included) to see which one would be more popular.

NOTHING EVER WORKS THE WAY YOU EXPECT IT –

While I thought this would be Jaxson’s new BFF – it was Harley who ran straight to it…

He pulled, he tugged, he twisted. I was shocked…

He loves it!

Jaxson observed intently the first couple of times, as if he was in tether tug toy training…

Right after we started playing with this, we were hit with consecutive days of torrential rain, which kept us indoors waiting for the ground to dry.

We’re back to sunny days, and tether tug fun, and afterwards I have so much free time on my hands. #doodledown

    Love it! Well, actually, I wouldn’t touch it, but Bailie would be crazy about it! Paws crossed I can win it since her birthday is next week. I could give it to her as a gift.

      You never know Emma – I thought Jaxson (like your Bailey) would have loved it, but then Harley (like you!) jumped right in the action.

    I wonder if my dogs would play with this! I’d get two of them for different parts of the property. I think it would be fun to try them out. Thanks for sharing.

    I’m going to do some more video watching to see if it’s something that we could do with my dogs.

      If any of your dogs are into tug war, they will love it. Harley plays with it more and more each day. Jaxson is learning and seems to be more interested with the ball attachment. Let me know if you get one. Hope it works well for you.

    I have a goldendoodle named Jamieson. He’s just turned one years old and we also call him part “kangaroo”because he jumps so much and has sooooooooo much energy. I really think he would love it and also I think he would definitely benefit from it because he is on the skinny side and he really need something to build his muscle and I know this will do the trick I watch the video several time and I also let his vet see it and he thought so as well. If I don’t win I will still like to purchase one.

    Thanks 🙂

    Bless you

      Colby – you would love it! They would have so much fun. We haven’t been able to use it much this week – heat index yesterday here in Chas was 103 #yikes so our outdoor fun has been limited. Even in the evenings it’s super warm and humid. But as soon as this breaks we’ll be out there again! Good luck with the give-away! Thanks for stopping by – we love our friends!

    My boy would love this and would be great if he is lucky enough to win. I have several health issues and often feel guilty not always being able to play with him.
