Make a Fleece Dog Tug Toy

Are you in need of a last-minute gift for a doggy friend?

Here’s how to make a fleece tug toy like the ones you see in the store. They’re often used as a reward during training, and just for play.

Materials needed:

Scraps of polyester fleece–about 1 yard long by 60″ wide.

One helper.

1. Cut the fleece into three strips so they are 2-4″ wide and 60″ wide.
2. Tie the strips together in one strong overhand knot about 4″ from one end.
3. Have a helper hold the knotted end.
4. Braid the three strips together as tightly as possible.
5. Tie all three strips together in one strong overhand knot again.
6. Play!
