Reply To: Making tugs out of old fire hose?

[Allie Dellosa]

I have a fire hose tug and it’s pretty tough, I don’t feel like it’s safe to play tug with, even with Storm. I use it in the pool because it floats or for fetch. We like bite suit tugs, but if you feel creative, I have my clients take old knee-high socks and fill them with cotton or old towels and tie them off at the top and those make excellent starters, they are nice and soft to encourage the dog to feel confident putting their mouth on some thing, and they are long enough to keep your hands safe. If your dogs are already confident tuggers the bite suit tugs are pretty inexpensive. I have never used French linen but since Judy suggested it I’m sure I’ll try it. 😊
