The first step is to install the 18" metal in-ground base. Using a rubber mallet, drive the metal base into the ground until an inch or two is still visible just above the ground. If using a metal hammer, place a block of wood or other solid durable item on top of the base so hammering doesn’t damage the top of the base. Sharp edges on the top of the metal base can tear the Tether Tug and compromise the toy. Once the metal base is in the ground, simply insert the Tether Tug toy into the base. The toy is now ready for play!

The pole slides into and out of the base to allow for mowing and stowing when playtime is over. We recommend the base be installed deep into the ground to allow the mower to drive over it. Click here to watch our helpful installation video on YouTube.

We have had extra large dogs (roughly 150 lbs) play with the toy without any problems. While we can’t guarantee the Tether Tug will withstand the play of every dog, we do stand by our product. If you purchase the toy from our website and it breaks quickly, we will replace or refund your purchase. Click here to learn more about our Tough Tug Guarantee.

First, congratulations on the new family member! We recommend purchasing the size Tether Tug that will be appropriate for the adult size. Pups grow so fast and a medium or large breed puppy will outgrow a small Tether Tug very quickly. We recommend ordering a Braided Fleece Toy Attachment for puppies. It is soft on their baby mouths and the fleece is super stretchy. It will give them plenty to do while they are growing into their Tether Tug!

Every Tether Tug is a high quality, handmade dog toy that when used per the instructions will prove to be worth every penny! The physical and mental stimulation that a durable, interactive Tether Tug has to offer is unmatched by just any dog toy. Your pet can entertain themselves and you won't have to wear yourself out. Many dogs are very active and get easily bored, often resulting obnoxious or destructive behaviors, so a Tether Tug give them a proper outlet for their energy and you won't have to play an endless game of fetch.
