What
Our durable fleece tugs and leads are bright, colorful, and made with
personality in mind. They have been tried, tested, and given the official
stamp of approval by our border collies and golden retrievers.
Fletcher, one of the goldens, really likes the tugs. He won't let go. We're
talking a dog that would take a ball over a steak. Or at least grab both at
the same time. Golden retrievers and food should not be underestimated,
I suppose. Molly and Reef are constantly aspiring to steal whatever I have
just made. They have successfully laid claim to some of my favorite
patterned tugs. They show no remorse.
The tugs are braided differently from both styles of leads. It is a very tight

patterned tugs. They show no remorse.
The tugs are braided differently from both styles of leads. It is a very tight
braid, and I have had mine over a year with multiple washings so far. I use it a couple times a week for agility rewards, and put
it away when we're done. Otherwise I'd give it a week. Reef's hobby is slowly destroying toys. Caper is appalled. They do
stretch a little after awhile.
I use two different types of braids for the tugs -the one pictured above and a typical 3 strand braid. Preference is the only
difference -the 3 strand braids are a little less expensive because they take less time and less fleece. I like that type of braid
for puppies, or for use as a practice agility leash and toy -just personal
preference based on looks!
How
These tugs and leashes are not intended to defy Jaws -if you have a dog that
grinds tugs, they may not be suitable. They are excellent as a reward or just
plain play -the knots at each end usually work well in keeping your dog
at one end, and your hand at the other. (Though no guarantees -perhaps
yourdog will think the knotted end you have it better!)
I use the fleece leash everywhere for Caper -on hikes, walks, jogging -I love
having a quick and easy reward for him, or a way to brighten him up. But
Caper doesn't pull. Reef, I'm pretty sure, can pull a 747. A clip lead and a
harness isher best choice. Still serves the same purpose. But Caper just makes everything easy. I rarely miss a chance to point
that out.
Machine washable -set it to cold and wash away. I wash mine with the dog toys -they have not bled in my washing machine, but
I suggest you wash them separately at first, or with a test rag. You can let them dry on their own, or tumble on low -they don't
take long to dry. A laundry bag for the leashes helps -it keeps the metal clip or ring from battering the sides of your washer or
dryer.
