It's thick, heavy duty black rubber with two big rings: one for you, one for your dog. Grab hold and hang on. 💪\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Goughnuts Tug MaXX Heavy Duty in black is the brand's biggest, toughest tug toy, made in the USA from natural rubber. It's built for large, strong dogs who love a proper game of tug: think Staffies, Bull Terriers, Malinois, German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Mastiff types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe figure-8 double-ring shape is what makes it work. Your dog grips one ring while you hold the other, so there's solid rubber between your hand and their teeth instead of a short, slobbery rope end. At roughly 28cm long and around 800g, it's a substantial toy with real weight behind it. It won't fold or flop about when things get enthusiastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTug is one of the best ways to burn energy and build your bond, and it's a favourite reward in obedience, bitework and sports training. A good tug toy lets you work on \"take it\" and \"out\" while your dog gets to use all that natural drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a tug toy, not a chew toy. Goughnuts designs its tugs for interactive play and doesn't recommend them for chewing or unsupervised play. Unlike Goughnuts rings, the Tug doesn't have a red safety-indicator core. When the game is over, put it away. If your dog is a dedicated chewer, pair it with the Goughnuts Ring Original – Heavy Duty for chew time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy owners like it:\u003c\/strong\u003e it outlasts rope and fabric tugs by a long way, and your hands stay well clear of teeth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy dogs like it:\u003c\/strong\u003e it's big, springy and satisfying to grip, and it means game time with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy duty black rubber, the toughest in the Goughnuts range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigure-8 double-ring design: one ring for you, one for your dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge size suits big, strong dogs who tug hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 28cm long, around 800g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for training rewards, drive-building and backyard play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinses clean in warm water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size dog is the Goughnuts Tug MaXX for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's made for large, strong dogs.
