Cane Corso Maximus 22month old Loves Jute tug.100% Natural fiber Dog k 9 Toy / Tug The Tug works brilliantly as motivation during obedience training. These tugs also work well when practicing the down/retrieve command. This tug being made of jute works excellent in getting a puppy interested in bite work with a jute sleeve. The tug is soft enough that it will encourage a pup to take a full bite. I have not seen a dog yet that does not get excited over a jute tug. It also quickly becomes the special favorite for dogs who already love toys and therefore a great reward for working. It is an excellent transition from the tug toy to the sleeve.Dogs love it you will have difficulty taking it away . This is not a chew toy.
