Built for Tugging. Made with Love.

Imagine your dog's tail going a mile a minute the moment this tug toy comes out. Soft on their mouth, satisfying to grip, and tough enough to handle a serious game — our Plaited Tug is a firm favourite for puppies and adult dogs alike.

Why Dogs (and Owners) Love It

  • Gentle on teeth and gums — plaited fleece construction is soft yet durable
  • Easy to grip — the braided design gives you a secure hold during play
  • Possum variants incorporate real NZ possum fur/wool for added texture and scent enrichment
  • Great for training — ideal as a reward toy for recall, fetch, and impulse control
  • Puppy-safe — soft enough for young mouths, engaging enough to hold their attention

Details

  • Handmade in New Zealand
  • Assorted lengths — as pictured
  • Available in Plain (fleece only) and Possum (fleece + possum fur/wool) styles
  • Multiple colour options to choose from

Each tug is handcrafted, so minor variations in length and texture are part of what makes yours unique.

Our dog loves it, to the point he gets obsessed

Our dog loves it, to the point he gets obsessed with it hahaha so we say it’s our toy, not his, as we often use it as training reward. Would definitely recommend it

Favourite Toy. Plaited Tug (green/black)

This is my pup’s favourite toy. He loves it! Soft on his mouth, & it also stretches. It’s the best tug toy. I’ve checked out others and they are tough for smaller young puppies. My daughter Jody put me onto Shine Pets. Very happy with my purchase.

Most loved toy

This is our puppy’s go to toy. We often use it during training sessions as he is motivated by play based learning. Great length, my 5 year old can safely play tug of war without worrying about getting a finger nipped.

Great possum toy

My puppy took to this toy immediately when she played with it at puppy school so have now bought one for her. She absolutely loves it.
I use it as a special play reward when training

Plaited Tug - Possum

My dogs loved this but quickly pulled the Possum Fur out of the tug, would be great if you can get replacement Possum Fur to give them more fun with it

Possum Tug

I have a different possum tug for my puppy, which is hardwearing. She likes the possum so I bought this one. I was a little disappointed, though she really likes it a bit of possum came off quite quickly after playing with it. I still like it though but did think it would be more puppy proof. Puppy is supervised, this is one of her special toys.

Great training aid

My Cavalier Barney is obsessed with Possum fur. His new tug is an easy way of distracting him when he’s about to do something I don’t want and to draw his attention to me.
