Durable Natural Rubber Dog Ball on Rope for Medium Large Dogs | Tough Toy for Strong Chewers, Tug of War and Fetch, K9 Training, Ball 2.4 in, Cotton Rope 19.6 in, Interactive Dog Toy

Have several and used for more than a year. I use them outdoors, in all kinds of weather, to train and play fetch with my German Shepherd. Yes, the rope will wear out and yes, chunks can be chewed off the ball. However, this is not a chew toy. It’s a toy for you and your dog to play with. When the rope gets chewed through, buy some from Walmart and replace it—not a big deal. The rope lets you throw the ball much further than normal and is a helpful tool to get the ball back from your dog. Much more pleasant than handling a slobber covered ball! I’ve only had to replace them when my throws went askew into bushes, rolled into a storm drain, or were swallowed by the woods.

I have purchased a few ball tugs and this one is the most durable. My 65 lb bully mix can get a little chew time in on the ball, play a hardcore game of tug, and hasn't managed to tear out the string or damage the ball. Both of those features make it a win. On top of that, the string is fairly durable, so with the occasional scissoring of the string in his teeth he hasn't managed to wear through it yet in the month or so we have had this. I am sure eventually he will tear through the string but when this is your daily tug you accept that that may get accidentally damaged over time. I am really pleased and will just re-order this one in the future, not need to look for better ones from here on out. Getting the texture right for the dog is also a challenge and this one has just the right amount of give to it. It's a win.

Great durable ball. Its semi soft but not soft enough for chunks to be carved out with heavy chewers. The only complaint I have is the rope. The rope isnt durable and is easily frayed at the ends, like my 7 pound rat terrier u did the knot and frzyed the ends in less than 30 min supervised. Once frayed there is no way to reseal it with heat or retying it. Other than that its a great idea it just needs refinement. Better the Kong version of this type of toy. Kong has the rope part down but their ball is easily destroyed and the ball and rope can be pulled appart easily. Bottom line this toy is a great idea but needs some tweaking.

Trainer came with one of these and our Boxer loved it. He still loves it. Great training tool for nervous dogs.

My dog loves to fetch. Not so much bringing anything back, but she loves to fetch. This rope/ball is great for two reasons. One, I can grab the rope easily as she returns which encourages her to drop it (I don’t play tug with her though I could). And, two, I don’t have to grab the slobbery ball! I saw this one mentioned in a dog trainer’s video, so I found it on Amazon. The rope feels well connected. It doesn’t seem like there is any “give” or that it’s about to pop loose. Well made.

Durable enough to play tug with high drive dog. The attached string does not break or come out of ball. The ball itself seems durable too, haven’t had a dog destroy the ball.

In fact, he loves it so much I had to buy a 2nd. We go to a big field and I throw 1 ... he brings back and I'm ready to throw the 2nd. There can be people and dogs and he doesn't see them. Better than a tennis ball thrower because he's a tugger and we tug - also a good reason to have 2. It took a few throws before I got the hang of how to get great distance. It's been an awesome training toy because I call "here" or "bring" and he brings it back. The reward can be treats but the best reward is to throw the 2nd. I recommend!

My 4 month old lab puppy had the string chewed though in about 20 minutes. He loves to play tug of war and I thought this might be a good choice. After 20 minutes of solo play/chewing the rope portion is useless. The ball however looks to be indestructible so it is not a total loss. Disappointed.

Muy práctico i resistente la pelota con la cuerda.

has been an amazing fetch & tug toy for my large super chewer mutt. i bought it as a back up in case our main roped ball toy broke, and ended up becoming the favorite for its durability and bounciness. recommended!
