Tug Rope Play

Tug rope toys are designed for interactive play when used appropriately. We recommend supervised tug games, choosing a rope size that matches your dog’s size and strength, and rotating tug toys in and out of playtime. When the game’s over, put the rope away to keep it exciting next time. Tug is also a great way to get involved, build engagement, and bond with your dog through playtime together.

Tug ropes can handle light chewing during play, but they’re not designed to replace dedicated chew toys. Over time, fraying is normal with rope toys, especially for dogs who like to gnaw between tugs. If you notice loose strands or heavy wear, it’s best to swap the rope out and bring it back later for supervised tug sessions.

Yes. Rotating your dog's toys is a simple way to keep play feeling new.

Instead of leaving everything out all the time, swap toys every few days. Dogs tend to get more excited when a toy comes back after a short break, even if it’s one they already love.

To make this easier, we designed our Toy Time Rotation Drawstring Bag. It gives you one place to stash toys that are “off duty” so you can quickly rotate them back in without clutter or forgetting what your dog already has.

Less mess, more excitement, and toys stay interesting longer.

Many DuraPaw toys are designed to work well outdoors, especially for active play like chewing, tossing, and fetch. Choosing the right toy for your dog’s play style helps keep outdoor play durable, engaging, and easy to manage.

Ripping is part of the fun with Rippables. Even after the outer layer is torn, your dog is left with a durable inner toy that keeps play going instead of ending it.
