New Firehose Tugs are in stock!!!
We're excited to show off the new products we've been working on.
BITE PILLOW
The 3 handle bite pillow is a standard piece of equipment for canine conditioning and protection work. This design has been around for many years and has proven to be effective at developing a dogs biting skills. The only way to improve upon this design was to make it tougher and longer lasting.
Bite pillows take a lot of abuse and are usually made from jute, synthetic fabric or leather. Double jacket firehose is the most durable material available for tug toys and using it for bite pillows has been a goal of ours for a long time.
The new Firehose Bite Pillow uses 4 inch hose which is the largest diameter available. The 3 handles are made from tubular nylon webbing with a solid foam core.
DUAL HANDLE TUG
The Dual Handle Tug is an 18 inch length of 2 inch firehose stuffed full with a plastic handle on each side. The handles are attached using static line climbing rope that is low stretch and abrasion resistant.
This tug toy keeps your hands far out of the way of your dogs mouth, especially useful for when they are coming in at high speed.
FLAT AND LOOP TUGS
The Flat and Loop Tug are made from 24 inches of 2 inch firehose. Each one has a double layer seatbelt webbing handle. Suitable for hanging from any springpole or using handheld this is our version of a familiar design.
The Loop Tug is exactly like it sounds, a length of firehose anchored at the top forming a loose loop for your dog to bite. Dogs respond well to the open loop nature of this tug, depending on how they grip it, the sensation of their snout being in the loop can cause them additional excitement and motivation to tug.
The Flat Tug is essentially the same as the Loop Tug except the "loop" has been sewn flat. This produces a thick and very stiff 12 inch bite target that is extremely durable and long lasting.
Do not let them bite the Seatbelt webbing anchor strap! These are not chew toys and should be taken away from your dog when not in use.
RING TUGS
A brand new concept for tug toys. Short and compact design is convienent for you and engaging for your dog. For most dogs the closer you can safely get your hand near their mouth the more they will enjoy the tugging.
The handle is simply the ends of the firehose secured together and folded around a length of closed cell foam for structure and strength. Due to the thickness of the hose itself, the handle is wider in diameter than you may expect but is still easy to hold.
The firehose forms a flexible loop that is easy for your dog to bite and find a good comfortable grip. You can easily change the shape which can help with targeting and where they should bite. The more central the grip point the easier it will be for you to hold.
The Heavy Duty is the same tug just sewn flat instead of left loose. This makes for a really stiff tug that is comfortable to hold and easy for your dog to see. Great for getting your dog to jump and grab without them accidentally biting your hand.
HOOP TUG
This Tug is a simple bite target for any of our springpoles. The goal for this product was to be easy to maufacture for us and cost effective for our customers.
24 inch length of firehose joined together to form a hoop with a solid anchor point that is specifically designed to sit easily in the velcro carabiners of our Springpole and Bungee Springs.
This tug is intended to be hung and tugged on from below.
