The GoughNuts Black Tug is great to use if you want to safely play with your dog! The design features a 1.5" cross section that separates two handles: one for you and one for your dog. The two-handles will protect you from moving toward your dog's mouth when you play and give more grip to improve your leverage and increase the amount you can play with your dog. This product is 6" wide and 11" long and better fits the needs of larger dogs.
