The Big Tug was developed for trainers and regular folks alike to be able to train and interact with their dogs. The long padded loop handle allows you to keep your hands away from the dog's bite as it launches to bite down on the bumper. The handle can also be used for hanging the bumper when practising launching at a target. It's been stuffed tightly for a firmer bite and the stuffing allows it to float. Great for training, tugging, and fetching on land, water, or snow! Pair it with the Katie's Bumpers™ Clip n' Toss™ Rope for even more fun in the water when retrieving may prove difficult!   Note: This is not a chew toy. We do not recommend leaving your dog unattended with this or any other Katie's Bumpers™ toy for an extended period of time. We use made-in-USA virgin professional-grade fire hose material and extremely strong stitching for ultimate durability when used properly. All dyes used on fire hoses are non-toxic and safe for dogs.
