Extra long (87 cm)
Handmade in the Dordogne
100% merino sheepskin
Sheepskin tug toy for puppies and adult dogs
The perfect toy for all dogs: big and small!
The essential ally for motivation, puppies, and positive reinforcement training
For selective, less food-motivated, or sensitive dogs, merino sheepskin acts as an irresistible stimulant. Unlike synthetic plush toys, the natural scent and loft of the wool immediately capture attention without causing hesitation.
🇫🇷 French artisanal craftsmanship: carefully crafted in a partner workshop located in Bergerac, Dordogne (24), each tug features reinforced stitching adapted for repeated tugging.
🐑 Extreme softness for gums: the plush texture allows for a full-mouth grip without any pain. It is the ideal tool for teaching tugging to puppies with baby teeth and young dogs.
📏 87 cm play range: the long strap allows you to make the fur slither on the ground like moving prey, while maintaining a comfortable safety distance for your hands.
🏃 A staple in canine sports: the ideal reward tool to boost speed in agility, work on starts in flyball, or reward an explosive recall amidst distractions.
🎯 Channeling & self-control: allows for redirecting excitement in a healthy way, working on "leave it" commands, and strengthening the bond with the human.
🧼 Simple & natural maintenance: merino wool is easily maintained by air drying and a simple gentle dry brushing to restore its loft.
Why is merino sheepskin the most stimulating toy?
Merino wool releases an authentic olfactory footprint that instantly triggers a dog's interest. In dog training and canine sports, using a natural wool motivation tug helps motivate the most reserved individuals thanks to an extremely pleasant sensation in the mouth.
When to use this merino sheepskin tug?
- From the puppy's first sessions: its softness protects baby teeth and allows for safely introducing tug games.
- For sensitive dogs or those not motivated by food: triggers immediate enthusiasm where treats fail.
- As a dynamic reward during training: ideal for agility, obedience, hoopers, or dog dancing to praise effort without breaking the rhythm.
- To work on an ultra-fast recall: waving the tug low to the ground triggers an immediate return from your companion.
- To teach the "drop it" and control: ideal for learning to release the grip on command in a joyful way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the sheepskin tug toy suitable for powerful dogs with strong jaws?
The merino sheepskin tug is very durable for shared tug-of-war games. However, if you have a powerful dog with a high-pressure bite (Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Belgian Malinois, Rottweiler, Mastiff breeds) or a dog that puts extreme physical impact into its grip, opt instead for the ultra-resistant synthetic canvas bite pillow, specially designed for high pressure.
Why is the sheepskin tug the perfect toy for puppies?
Merino sheepskin is extremely soft and supple. It provides a gentle grip that does not hurt sensitive gums and protects baby teeth during teething, allowing you to introduce your young dog to play with complete confidence.
Can the sheepskin tug be left out for the dog?
No, this is a toy for shared interaction, not for solitary play. Putting the tug away after each session protects the natural fur from destructive chewing and preserves its exceptional appeal to your pet.
How do you maintain and wash merino sheepskin?
In case of moisture or dirt, let the bolster air-dry naturally, away from any direct heat source (radiator or intense sunlight) so as not to dry out the leather. Once dry, gently brush the wool with a soft brush to restore its full volume.
What is the difference between the sheepskin tug and the cowhide tug?
Merino sheepskin is significantly fluffier, longer, and softer, making it ideal for puppies, small dogs, and sensitive dogs. Cowhide offers a shorter texture and a firmer leather grip, which is highly valued for dynamic training.
