Dean and Tyler Small Bite Tug, Jute, Size 8-Inch by 4-Inch

I got this to replace an older flat stitched leather tug that was just to hard for my late-start older dog to bite on comfortably. I don't have the experience to judge the tug quality itself beyond "it's well made and my dogs love to bite it". However as the person who has to hold it while 70lbs of teeth come snapping up at it, the handles are the PERFECT length. Long enough to keep your hands safetly out of the way even if you mess up a delivery but short enough you have enough control over the tug when actually playing. I also love fact the handles are folded and stitched securely. My younger dog got ahold of the tug outside of training and the folded and stitched handle held up to his teeth until I was able to get it back. Even with the small tear he managed to get in the webbing the handle is still perfectly solid thanks to the construction. My previous tugs didn't have this and once they frayed the webbing would just rip, something that (with a smaller tug) make it really obnoxious to use in training.

This is a great tug for training my Akita "puppy" who weighs around 80 pounds. It works well for dogs that have a strong prey drive. The tug is well constructed, tough, and has usable handles to keep your hands free from the bite zone. I would definitely recommend this product to others, especially since you can't find this at most local pet stores.
