The first one kayla broke, after I brought another, kayla has so much fun. She has a brother now name BOS and he's just 7 weeks and he plays with the broke one. Thanks I love it.

THESE GUYS AT TETHER TUG ARE AWESOME, THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS 100%. WE HAD AN ISSUE , OUR DOG LITERALLY PULLED IT OUT OF THE GROUND AND DECIDED TO MAKE IT HER CHEW TOY.
AFTER SENDING THEM PICTURES, TETHER TUG IMMEDIATELY SENT US ANOTHER, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Louie thinks Tether Tug is non-stop FUN. He races across the woods to play with it - I added one of his stuffies and he yanks on that too and can sometimes pull it off which, of course, then just adds to the fun. Tether Tug gives him a chance to get his crazies out and I can enjoy the show. AND, the baby trees in the woods here are happy Louie has something to bite other than them.

I got this for my highly active good boy. He loved it from the very second I had it set up. The set up was really easy as well. Saves my arm, burns his energy. This was his birthday present. I couldn’t have asked for a better quality product. He gives it a real work out and it shows no sign of damage or wear. I couldn’t be happier neither could he!
Lisa S.
This is our third tether tug we have three Bostons and they wear them out pretty quickly.
Connor R.
Honestly the idea of the toy is perfect. My dog loved to play with it... but within about an 10 min of just regular pulling, not chewing the rope toy just fell apart. But the rest of the toy held up great! Just have to get a replacement rope and will continue to enjoy the toy. Would recommend!
Kristina D.
My boxer is very strong and pulled out of of the ground twice before I got it deep enough to not let her pull it out, now she loves it! Everytime she goes outside that's what she's is paying with
Michael M.
Our dogs love Tether Tug's we had to go to the BIG model because they like to work as a team instead of tugging against each other. I had to cement the metal holder in the ground with 80lbs of QUIKRETE concrete, 50lbs wasn't enough.
craig g.
Needs a heavier duty base to drive in harder ground. I'm going to concrete mine in. I have a 130lb bull mastiff and he has almost ripped it out of ground. Im sure it's fine for smaller dogs.
Brenda S.
My 90lb pitbull has destroyed most toys within a day! We've had the tether tug out for just over a week and it stays standing!! Thank you!!
Chris H.
My dog has only played with it a little bit. I don't think she is sure what to think of it yet. Even though she has only played with it a little I still had to replant the base.
Joyce F.
The dog loves it but would love the ball attachment hasn’t come yet
Sherry S.
Max loves it. So very sturdy
Kevin B.
Only issue is the pipe holder is not designed for the hard ground in Arizona. Had to Modify it to a point
Nicole L.
Having a little difficulty getting him to play with it by himself. He's used to playing tug of war with me at the other end.
Anne C.
Winston, a 10 month old , loves this. He has alot of excess energy.
This helps him work it off.
He's 65lbs and growing and it seems to be sturdy enough for him.
Frederick S.
I had to use a bag of concrete to keep Lulu from pulling the base out of the ground!
Roxie L.
My pittie lives it. So dose mommy when he takes a nap, afterwards
Priscilla C.
love this awesome
Therisa Stack S.
Tether Tug is the reason my dog has for going outside! She loves the challenge of the pole pulling back, the challenge of trying to get the ball off the tug. She loves it and I love it as she is not digging up my yard as much!
Lloyd S.
Our girl Ripley loves it! Plays with it everyday!
Rodney G.
My 90 pound shepherd pulled the socket (tube driven into the ground) out of the ground on the third pull. Our ground is heavy compressed clay. I am going to have to set the socket in concrete to provide stability and security. On the plus side, my dog loves the device.
Virginia E.
My little boy is now 11 months old. I have a elderly neighbor and myself watches him for hours playing with this. She said it also helps her to because she enjoys watching him play. So this toy is beneficial to more than just a dog.
Gabriel S.
She burns a lot of energy
The only issue is the base i can't realt explain i think just need to be longer
marc r.
Allows your dog to work off the teething pain
Margaret M.
Right now, we have about 7 inches of snow and ice on the ground. We live in Iowa!!! Start of winter!!! We will have to wait until spring to set his tether ball up. I am so hoping that he will love it and play with it on his own! Jax is a 3 year old German Shepherd who I love very much and gives me so much love in return!!!
John S.
Lol thought company had sent wrong tug, but it wasn't. Owner was very compassionate and apologetic. Toy works great. My buddy plays with it for hrs.
erik b.
It took Molly a little bit to play with it but she loves it. Good entertainment for her
Karen N.
Our Blue Nose Pitty Howard loves this. My only problem is that he can destroy the tug toys within a few days.
Virginia B.
Cali loved it ! Took her 60 seconds to figure it out. She will have a lot of fun with this new toy.
Jannie B.
Beau, our two year old rescue loves his tether tug. Just today he pulled his first tether tug out of the ground and we have number two ready to install. He likes to get a running start and then grab the rope and swing himself around on it. It doesn't ever seem to get old with him. Thanks for a great product that helps puppies work out some of that energy in a productive way.
Christopher R.
Great exercise
WENDI H.
Our dog loves the Tether Tug so much!
Michael G.
My dog is getting the hang of it.
Christine N.
Added a tug toy to the end of the rope
Sara T.
Both of my heelers love the tether tug. They're dedicated tuggers, and this gives my arms a break! We added an extra rope at the end to make it longer because they both like to tug at once. Good thing I got the tether tug for 70+ pounds. We're very happy with it!
Little Bit R.
Love Love Love this product! I would suggest it for any big dog owners like American Bulldog. My boy is not small and has a hard time finding toys that interest him. This is definitely a great addition to our play and exercise routine. Even the puppies can play with it. Very versatile, lots of fun.
Steve P.
My dog love it ,The only problem is bottom that you pound in to the ground doesn’t hold its shape and my dog pulls and the bottom support always get loose in the ground!
Susan H.
We had only 1 small issue.. I did not hammer the base into the ground far enough and my 30lb Boxer Puppy bent the base. My only thought was the base should be stronger...However my puppy LOVES IT!!!!! Thank you..
shane m.
The Tether Tug itself is very very stout and well made. Including the super thick locking ring thats used to attach and change out the toy on the end. 4 stars of or 5 because the metal pocket that gets driven into the ground comes out way too easy. Just regular old backyard dirt/grass doesn't keep it anchored and now it'll need concrete in. My dog had figured out in minutes to rock the tether side to side and out pops the stake pocket. Like I said though, the tether tug itself is super tough and still worth the buy. I might get a second one for the other side of the yard, just concrete then stake in right away. My Lab loves it.
Lori B.
2 of our 4 dogs play with it and love it! The other 2 aren’t sure about it yet.
Karen W.
My dog loves it but after about 45 minutes of play on her new one, she had bent the base. I have a picture
Margaret M.
My 11-month old male Doberman loves this and it has stood up to his extreme bite/chew and tugging. One of the best toys. He has destroyed every other toy we've bought him within the first 10 minutes.
Only issue is we had to figure out how to anchor the metal post in the ground without him pulling it out. Once we figured that out, good to go.
Worth the money!
Mike P.
Best toy I’ve ever bought . Great quality and my dog will play with this thing for hours on end .
Danny L.
My pit bull mix is very strong and she loves it she tugs on it for at least 1/2 now I do not have to get tug around just to let her get reed of the energy.
Jacen R.
We have had our Tether Tug for a few weeks and so far it has been a great investment for Mela.
Thank You.
Cynthia K.
This is an excellent well made product that my competition dog who is high drive just loves. He has put it to the test and it past with flying colors. I am also using it with my training as a reward when he does what I am asking him to do.
James T. H.
My dog loves it he a 80lbs...Bully 11 months old and has a ball with it
Kevin B.
Needless to say Baren loves his Tethertug, plays with it everyday.
Jammey K.
We use it different than most people I’m sure. I get involved with the puppies and I would love to send you video of it.
I call our game fishing for puppies. They love it.
I use it like a cane pole and Cagney and Lacey just love it.
Valerie S.
its fun to watch the dogs play
Cheryl L.
Thanks for you Tether Tug! My Border Collie loves it, too. Lacey is thrilled by tugging it around!
Rolling C.
I’m very happy with this product.
Alexandru P.
Great toy. Dog uses it almost every day. She can exercise and have fun without me worrying about breaking my shoulder.
RaeMandra S.
Some may think it is pricy for a dog toy, but it is substantially built. You are getting your money’s worth. My Siberian Husky is loving his new toy.
Jake B.
I have a Dogo Argentino that loves this. After a few weeks, it is holding up well to the abuse. Only problems is that the in-ground anchor has been jarred loose. I drove the anchor into 12 in of hard, compacted clay soil, but the dog is still tugging it loose (strong dog). Once I cement the anchor into the ground (the tether post simply slides out of the anchor for mowing, etc.) the tether will be problem free. This may not be a problem for other dogs.
Lauren W.
Theo, our former foster, dog loves it! So much so that he’s finally permitted us to adopt him after 2 years!
Theo is a rough and tumble player that is even stronger than he looks, so we were skeptical anything could hold up against his strongest tug... but so far so good with the tethertug! He was on the cusp of weight so we went with the larger size as advised and it appears to be doing the trick! Only issue we have had has been wet ground that has made the base tilt in the ground a bit, but it can’t control the weather. All of us give it 5 star, but especially Theo!
steven M.
The you is awesome. The only thing that I don't like is that the base that I had to put into the ground holds water , so after a rain I have to dump it , or forget and have it rust out.
Rich G.
Excellent product. Well made to last for a long time. Great customer service.
Eric A.
My Doberman Molly absolutely loves her new toy. She really gets a workout pulling on the rope. Took her a few minutes of me pulling on the rope to get the hang of it but then ...wow! I do recommend this to my friends.
James M.
Millie likes it. Macy, only wants to play with it, when Millie is. Millie looses loses interest FAST. Perhaps, IF the BALL TOY PLUS wasn't delayed. She'd probably enjoy that much more!
Kevin H.
We got this to keep our Corona puppy busy. Her name is Callie and is 4 months old. She LOVES this toy. We struggle to keep her busy enough to drain her energy. This helps a lot. The only issue is she wants to keep going back out to play with it. She will whine until we take her our to play. Setting up was super easy. She unraveled the rope pretty quickly which was a little surprising but we just tied knots in the rope again. She uses this a lot. We also take it out of the ground and use it like a fishing pole.... That is one of her favorites, chasing and jumping to grab the rope as we swing it around. Well worth the money.
anthony c.
I thought it wouldn’t hold up with my 2 American Bull Dogs.. with being puppies being 80+ lbs I thought they would break it. But so far so good they are still holding up...
Joseph M.
A very well made item and very easy to install.
Deborah L.
She is just 14 weeks old, and just learning, but LOVES, her tethertug. She tires out pretty quickly, but give her a couple of months!
Kathleen L.
High quality, well built product that my dogs absolutely love!! All from a company with outstanding customer service. I couldn't be happier with my purchase
Audra N.
Oliver is so happy, my shoulders couldn't take that shaking anymore, and our other dog likes to fetch, Oliver does not. So happy for him.
Lawrence P.
Awesome product and my bully loves it thank you!
Paula I.
My dogs go to every time they are out. Has large clip and just attach any toy. Hours of fun
Amie R.
Piper loves the tether tug.
suzanne z.
I love the toy. I have a big dog and he would tug very hard. Only problem I have is I cannot get him to use it alone.
Alissa G.
My big boy loves his tether tug! I'll take the pile out and we'll run around the yard, or he'll play all by himself, which is great now that he can't go to daycare during the quarantine.
Melissa S.
He loves it! And I love that he loves it! He's very active so this is perfect backyard fun time!
Kelcey W.
My aussies instantly started to play with it. They love it. Kinda want to get 2 more so they each have their own! Also the ordering and shipping and communication was very quick and personable.
Jessica K.
He LOVES it!!! I am gonna need to get new tugs soon; he is DESTROYING this one with all his Tether Tug love. 55lb Dal, that is a strong tugger. Got the large.
michael m.
My dog, Hoss, loves your tether tug toy more than any other toy that he has. Thanks
Mea O.
My girls love playing with it
Timothy P.
The toy is very well and my dog enjoys playing with it. But I can see that I’m going to have to continually move it . My dog is very strong and loosen it very easily.But he does enjoy it.
Gerard L.
I have two pit mixed one #65 female bred for pig hunting and one #75 male who was a pound puppy. I am glad I got the large size pole! They can both play on it at the same time. I have had to reset the base pipe a few times because they work it so much it sits at and angle. I may end up pouring some concrete around the pipe so it is part of the yard! I did have to replace the stock rope after about 2 hours! Mine are shredders! Overall A product. A few tweaks and it would be A+
Glenn M.
The only thing I didn't like is the metal D ring. I had to take it out of the ground until I could remove that. My dog would jump at the rope trying to get a higher bite. He got to the D ring. Other than that its great.
Jason B.
so far Reggie loves it, once the frost is out of the ground and I can get the stake all the way in the ground the better it will be.
Amy Z.
My daycare dogs love it! It takes time to show them how to use it. You have to pull it with them and then they take off on their own. I also swap out different toys to keep it interesting. I'll likely get another!
Elvoy “Bud” C.
I think I should have bought the big tether tug. We have had the medium about two months and already on second rope. I have the red healer and a Mcnab both about 45 lbs and they both tug at same time. LOL
Paul V.
Our “Buddy” loves this toy.....but he is a very very strong chewer!! The attached rope toy....lasted 6 minutes!
The pole and D-ring are still great!! The anchor stake, in soft soil, did well, but has suffered damage from the constant back and forth tugging. He loves it, and I’ll find another stronger metal for an anchor!
Tom W.
The only complaint I have is the receiver tube that goes in the ground is too short!!!! Within two minutes our Doberman had pulled it over. I made a longer one and Put it in the ground and now it’s awesome. Our Dobie has had hours of fun!!
Dianne D.
As a Dog Trainer, I reccomend this product all the time. It is a wonderful outlet, for energetic, prey driven dogs.
The dog I purchased it for is more of a ball dog, than a "tug" dog...who knew (English Bulldog) so it ends up being not "her thing".
So, I have it for the next dog I Train that is more tug driven.
Nonetheless, this is a great toy, and I am happy to see that you have made better designs to help keep it in the ground.
As a Trainer I would like to see some sort of ability (order code) to reccomend it from my website, that I may give a discount and receive a bit of credit in return. I would say on average I reccomend it at least 3-7 times monthly with about 1-4 Clients purchase.
I have heard great reviews about your customer service as well.
Ileen M.
Captain loves this device. He has a lot of fun and tires himself out. He is a destructive chewer so sometimes he's stand there just trying to chew the rope, but with some encouragement he gets back to tugging. My soil kinda sucks, so the in ground base has become loose in the ground but is still holding it in place. Great product, glad to find this for him.
Angela A.
An absolute hit with my pup ! I was impressed with how sturdy the pole was and very well made. She loved the rope and really loved the fleece rope... that’s her favorite. Great way to keep a pup engaged and entertained. I’d like to see a squeaker in the fleece tug for puppies, might add a bit more fun. I love this !
caroline h.
So far it is holding up to my dog's pulling and tugging. He is a 100 lb working GSD and is very strong, so am amazed that he hasnt broken it yet. I would've have given it 5 stars, but I didnt because the tether could be higher up for him, he grabs it at the very top by the clip because he is so big and if he lets go, I can see the clip possibly hitting his teeth which is a concern. If it was taller (the toy was up higher for him) he would be biting it more in the middle where he is supposed to be grabbing it.
sharon y.
I have video's of my dogs playing. they absolutely love it... they get a great workout since these guys are performance boys. FCAT, Diving Dogs and now the tug! LOL absolutely scream to go out to play
Robert S.
Great dog toy
Patrick G.
My dog is a whole new dog after he plays with his tethertug! He gets tired and is more calm when he comes inside. The best toy I ever got him!!
Kayla B.
Chums
Joseph S.
It takes the wind out of my dog and helps him calm down plus the enjoyment of us watching him trying to win. We are now waiting for the line to part since he has chewed most of it, and the surprise he will get when it parts. Great toy for him.
Maria B.
Tough product and keeps our pittie entertained. The rope didn’t last long so we replaced with another, but the pole and everything else held up. I was skeptical considering our dog is an aggressive chewer and is very strong, but happy to say this toy is tough! Highly recommend!
Shay S.
I purchased the Tether Tug for my 65 lbs pit bull/Staffy named Sadie...who also has the nickname of “Destruct-O” because she is extremely tough on toys. But no matter how much she pulls on the Tether Tug, she has not been able to bend it, remove it from the ground, or break it in any way. She stays challenged by it and interested in it, and it’s been a great addition to her daily, high-energy life.
Michael R.
Digs love it.. I just had to reinforce stack into ground because our crappy soil
Jennifer N.
She’s having fun!
Jody S.
My dog has only played with it a few times but she likes tug of war!! I’m sure she will get great use of it and she’s extremely strong and it won’t break.
Cherie I.
We bought our first Tether Tug in November 2017, unfortunately it just wasn’t strong enough for our 47 pound Aussie, Enzo. However the new Tether Tugs are so much stronger and better made. Poor Enzo, no matter how hard he tugs he can’t break it. I’ve posted a picture of Enzo in action with his new Heavy Duty Tether Tug. I highly recommend this product because our pup Loves it! Plus it saves our hands.
