When threaded on to ropes the rope creates some degree of drag which means that they not travel as quite as fast through the air, so leading to a slightly lessened amount of exertion on the dog’s part, and should they get stuck in the dog’s mouth, the hole that the rope is threaded through offers some air way. The rope can also be  pulled to release it if it has gone too far down in an emergency. We’re also including other throw toys here as fun, safe interactive play and training aids.

Soft balls and rubber spikey balls are great for teaching puppies, and squeaky balls can help inspire dogs that are harder to motivate. Some dogs prefer an over size ball if they can pick it up easily.

We recommend never to throw a ball for more than 5 times in succession without a good break to recover. Dog’s may appear to have endless energy, but just like us, they can sustain injuries if they push themselves too far, and we do not want that for our best buddies.

Here’s a hand picked selection that I would be happy to carry out in my dog bag for everyday play and training games. I tend to prefer non squeaky balls as this tends to encourage some dogs to want to keep the ball for dissection rather than returning for a re-run of the throw game.
