Wordless Wednesday: Rope Tug Toys
Walter needed to tug a little on Sunday as it was raining so we immediately grabbed this awesome fleece tug a friend gave us!
I wanted to share a “how to” post I found. This one is written by “Dalmatian DIY” – the pattern she uses in this post is similar to the one my friend made.
Have you ever made any of these for your dogs? Do you have a resource you want to share?
Looks like tons of fun!!! Brando wants us to make one for him!!! <3
Post or send me pics if you make one!
We have several good tug toys. Bailie and Madison love to play tug, but it usually ends up in a wrestling match.
I love watching Walter and Sherm play tug but yea we end up playing the bad cop role as it gets crazy quickly – so human-Walter tug is the preferred method!
Walter looks like he is having lots of fun. I’m DIY challenged so I haven’t made a rope toy or any toy. LOL
Me too – the DIY projects I tackle have to be pretty simple! lol!
Walter does look like he’s having fun. Sometimes rainy day play is the best. I made a rope toy out of socks and a tennis ball. Just cut the sock into strips, braid it, cut holes in the tennis ball, and string the sock braid through. Max loved it (even though it was a bit small for him)
Agreed – and it’s pouring today so we’re getting creative – your DIY tug with a ball sounds pretty amazing. Pics?
My dog tugs on my toes and on his stuffed fox, but this looks cool.
Ha! My dog also tugs on my socks when they’re on my feet — so I’m hoping he’ll make better choices 🙂
Wow! Hope you have a tight grip on that toy. Looks like someone is determined to rip it out of your hands!

I saw that ALL the animals were adopted out this weekend!!!!!!! OMD!!!!!!
A game of tug is always fun.
Totally agree! Thank goodness the sun is shining today! No tugs today!
I’m not much for DIY, but we did review some fleece toys a while ago and the crew loved them. They even stood up for a little while to my crazy chewers. I might have to get some more of those; they say that chewing on the fleece can help keep their teeth clean too!
I didn’t know about the teeth cleaning aspect. That’s a nice bonus to these! yea – Walter can only have this for maybe 10-15 minutes or he’d shred the whole thing. 😉
That’s one cool DIY!
Thank you!
Theo loves to play tug, we made some tug toys by braiding strips of old t-shirts, but they aren’t as cute as the square knots. http://www.dailydogtag.com/diy/diy-t-shirt-chew-toy/
Oh I’m so glad you shared this! I’ll add to the resources section of this post!!!! These are super cute and look easier than what I included. 🙂
