The Schweikert Extra-Thick Jute Tug with Loop Handle is a 60 cm jute tug with a circumference of about 34 cm, softly padded, with a sewn-in wrist strap.
The extra thickness gives a young dog a big target to fill its mouth, which helps build a deep, full grip. The soft padding keeps it comfortable for younger or sensitive dogs.

How trainers use it
A thicker tug is often used once a young dog is keen to grip, to encourage it to open its mouth wide and bite deep. Trainers hold the tug by the wrist strap and present it low and still, so the dog can come in and fill its mouth. Keep the game short, let the dog win now and then, and end with a calm out. Watch how the dog grips: a full, quiet grip is the aim, rather than chewing at the tip.
