Tug toys are a great way for dogs to get exercise while playing, and bonding with their hooman.
Here is how we made a fleece rope tug toy.
Cut 4 pieces of fleece 2 inches wide by 48 inches long Tie the 4 pieces together on one end Spread the 4 pieces out as shown Fold the lower piece up and to the left, leaving a loop of about 3 inches. Fold the upper piece down and to the right, leaving the same sized loop Fold the right piece over the top of the piece going down, and thread it through the lower loop. Fold the left piece over top of the piece going up, and thread it through the upper loop Slowly tighten the knot by alternating between pulling the left and right pieces, and the upper and lower pieces, until the knot is snug The tightened knot should look like this When the weave of the toy is to the desired length, pull all of the remaining pieces down Tie the remaining pieces together Cut the excess down to 2 inches after the knot Cut each piece up the center about an inch and a half Your tug toy is done Enjoy!
