Gauntlet Training Tug
A jute bite tug with two handles, for reward work rather than for leaving on the floor.
Jute is the traditional bite material because it has some give and a coarse weave a dog can get a full mouth on, which is what you want when you're paying a dog for work. Two handles — one long, one short — let you present it at different heights and keep a hand clear of the dog's mouth, and both carry reflective stitching so you can find it in long grass at dusk.
Say the important part plainly: this is training equipment, not a toy. It comes out, it gets used, it goes away. A tug left on the floor gets chewed to pieces and stops being worth anything to the dog. Jute also sheds fibers as it wears — that's normal for the material, and a tug that's coming apart should be retired rather than repaired.

Covered for one year
Covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover chewing, digging, or ordinary wear. Dogs are hard on gear, and we would rather say so up front than argue about it later.
