What is the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball & what makes it different from other dog toys?

The Toss-n-Train Tug Ball is designed for high-energy play that taps into your dog’s natural instincts. It’s a versatile ball with a durable rope handle, making it perfect for fetch, tug of war, water games, and interactive training. The lightweight design and easy-to-grab rope make it the ideal on-the-go tug toy — giving you and your dog endless ways to bond and play.

Unlike many rope toys on the market, the rope we’ve chosen is both tough and durable while still being soft on the hands. We opted for a rope handle instead of a strap so you can adjust the length to suit your dog and your style of training. With the default longer rope, you can even tie it to create a secure handle.

The ideal rope length will depend on both the size of the handler and the dog. Those with physical impairments may find the standard rope length easier to grip, hold, and control during play, reducing strain while still providing their dog with the full benefit of tug and fetch games. Others may prefer to shorten or trim the rope to achieve the perfect fit for their training and play style.

Is the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball safe for my dog?

Yes. The ball is crafted from high-quality, non-toxic EVA foam that is safe for teeth and gums, and the rope is made from sturdy fibres. As with any dog toy, we recommend supervised play to ensure safety. If any piece comes loose, please remove it and replace any parts to ensure the safety of your dog.

What size is the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball & which dogs is it best for?

The Toss-n-Train Tug Ball has two sizes to suit most dogs. The ball is lightweight yet tough, and the rope handle gives added versatility for different play styles. We recommend the Medium size for small to medium breeds, and the Large size for medium to large breeds, however, this depends on your dog’s individual size.

How durable is the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball?

The Toss-n-Train Tug Ball is a very durable toy, built for active, engaged play. However, it is not a chew toy and should not be left with your dog unsupervised to gnaw on. Durability will depend on your dog’s play style and the intensity of your games. Not only will this ensure the toy lasts as long as possible, but it will help make sure it remains a high-value toy in the eyes of your dog and be an incredible source of reinforcement.

How does the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball benefit my dog’s behaviour and well-being?

This toy provides both mental and physical enrichment. Tug and fetch games tap into the predatory hunting sequence and satisfy natural urges to chase, strike, and fight. Having an outlet for innate behaviours like this is crucial for a dog's well-being, especially in working and herding breeds. It can also be used in training to promote impulse control, teamwork, and overall engagement with their handler.

Can the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball be used for training?

Absolutely. The Toss-n-Train Tug Ball is an excellent reward tool, especially for dogs that are motivated by play. Its design makes it easy to deliver a fun, high-value reward during training sessions, whether you’re working on recall, obedience, or focus games.

How do I clean the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball?

Simply rinse and rub the ball and rope with warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry.

Are teeth marks in the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball normal?

Yes. The EVA foam material is designed to allow teeth to sink in safely. Bite marks and surface impressions are normal and a sign of healthy play. With time, the texture will become even softer, which dogs find even more exciting to bite.

Can puppies and adult dogs use the Toss-n-Train Tug Ball?

Yes! The Toss-n-Train Tug Ball is suitable for dogs of all ages. You can adjust the intensity of games to match your dog’s age, size, and energy level.
