DIY for Dogs: Square Knot Fleece Loop Tug Toy

DIY for Dogs: Square Knot Fleece Loop Tug Toy

For those of you who loved our square knot fleece dog tug toy (thanks!), you'll be happy to hear that we find ourselves needing to make a new tug toy every month or two, thanks to the destructive dog teamwork of "Sharky McFang" (one of Humphrey's many nicknames) and "Oli the Ripper"!  Oli prefers a nice loop to get his mouth through, so here is a simple little variation for turning a basic square knot fleece dog tug toy into a loop and tail tug toy.

DIY for Dogs: Square Knot Fleece Tug Toy

As some of you may already have seen on our Facebook or Twitter posts, our puppy is much harder on his toys than our older boy ever was. I won't name any brand names here, but some VERY expensive heavy-duty dog toys have lasted for mere minutes in his happy little mouth. I am in no way a pioneer of fleece dog toys (there are many different DIYs out there).  After a number of less than robust attempts, we finally made with a toy that both dogs enjoy and is able to survive for weeks of vigorous play, so we though we would try and share some simple visual instructions to help others who would like to try something similar. Mini-update: It has been a few years since we shared this post and now that Humphrey is a little less puppy-destructive and Oli a senior, these types of tug toys last for ages at our place, and wash/wear very well.
