The Tug-a-Jug is the ultimate interactive toy. Its unique design and construction appeals to all 5 of your dog's senses! Dogs can touch the toy and see, smell, hear and taste the treats you put inside. You can use the Tug-a-Jug as a toy, a training tool, or even to feed meals!

The Tug-a-Jug is available in 2 sizes. The small size is best for dogs under 40 pounds and the large for dogs over 40 pounds, but we have found large dogs to enjoy this small just as much as the large one.

This dog toy was invented by a teacher for her own dog. She put everything that your dog could want in a toy into the design of the Tug-a-Jug. It is made with non-toxic materials, similar to those used in bullet-proof glass. The tough rubber ball at the top of the jug is textured to aid in cleaning teeth and gums.

To use, simply unscrew the bottom of the jug and fill it with treats of your choice. Replace the cap and let the fun begin! Your dog can see the treats through the jug, hear them rattling around and even small them through the scent holes in the cap. Your dog can roll the Tug-a-Jug or pull it along using the ball on top of the jug or the rope that extends through the jug. As they shake and tug this toy, treats will shake out through the neck of the bottle.

Hand wash only.

No toy is 100% indestructible. It is unrealistic to expect that from any toy. The toys that we sell at Leerburg® are the best quality and most durable that we have found. Always supervise your dog when playing with toys. Periodically inspect all toys for damage. Do not allow your dog to continue to play with a damaged or broken toy.

Cindy,

I thought you might enjoy this story: We recently bought a Tug-a-Jug for our dogs.

The smaller mutt didn't show much interest in it when he figured out he had to do more than roll it around to get food to come out. He learns quickly, but is kind of dense at figuring things out on his own, so most puzzle toys just frustrate or don't interest him.

The Elkhound, however was very interested in the idea. She's always liked puzzle toys, and the harder the better.

After about an hour of watching her try to figure out how to make the food come out, and fail at figuring it out, I decided to help her by 'showing' her to pull on the rope when she started to get frustrated and just gnaw on the plastic bottle. She watched how I got the food out, she gave it a try, got a piece of food, and seemed to almost shrug and walk away.

Later that day, I unscrewed the base to take out the uneaten treats and left the toy on the counter. Didn't think much of that, and I didn't think much of it a few days later when she watched as I refilled the toy and screwed the base back on. She seemed to want to play with it again, so I handed it to her and watched her carry it off to the living room, lay down, upend the bottle so the base was at an angle facing her, and... unscrew the base with her mouth and paws. She had watched me unscrew and screw on the base and figured out how to do it herself by getting her a grip on the top with her back teeth, holding it there tightly enough so it didn't slip when the bottle was moved, and rotating the entire toy with her paws!

Not EXACTLY how I'd have expected her to figure it out, but hey, I can't fault her for finding an easier way to get the food!
