A coffee wood bar threaded onto a thick braided rope loop in cream and brown, finished with chunky knots and tassels at each end. It's a toy built for the two things many dogs love best: a good gnaw and a proper game of tug.

    Candles dedicated to the throat chakra - resonating with the color blue. They contain sodalite - a natural stone that promotes better communication, courage in expressing one's own opinion, and greater creativity. For me, a big plus is that the candle is made from natural soy wax, and thanks to the…

    Retro

    I like these lamps, they're fairly priced and don't appear to be in the daytime, but in the evening they come to life, with a lovely warm retro look and feeling.I would have preferred them to come with a switch set to their lowest light setting, or the gradient of brightness to start at its highest…

    Will adjust to most wrist widths.

    This bracelet is made with a waxed cord, which is not just durable, but will withstand being in the washing up water or the shower if you forget to take it off. It adjusts easily, & stays at the chosen width really well. The Tourmaline beads are beautiful, well polished, & great quality. I love the…

    Cute as a button! I bought this one because my old one stopped working after being dropped. Since getting the new one, the old one is working again; must have been a good influence.

    Very cute and works nicely

    Love these. I took them on holiday with me and they came in very handy. They are light and the little packs are small enough to fit easily in your bag. I can't say they are particularly perfumed but they do smell pleasant. My daughter loved them and keeps asking to use them. Very pleased with these.

    White sage and peppermint sage stick

    Nicely presented and well made, the sage was easy to use - though I was glad to see some brief instructions on the box too as someone trying this for the first time. It did take a little while to light and only burned for a short while but it was long enough to give the room a pleasant and relaxing…

About this product

What you'll notice
  • The rope passes right through both ends of the wooden bar, so the bar sits in the middle of the loop with a handle's worth of rope on either side.
  • The braid is chunky and cream-and-brown, with knots at the ends that give a dog something firm to grip and a person something solid to hold.
  • Tassels finish the design, which looks as good lying on a living-room floor as it does mid-game.
  • Coffee wood is a dense, tightly grained wood with a warm, earthy tone, a natural-looking alternative to brightly coloured plastic.
  • The loop shape works for solo chewing, for fetch, or for a two-person tug session in the garden or hallway.
Wood and rope, kept simple

The toy brings together two natural-looking elements: a coffee wood bar and a braided rope loop. Wood is a material many dogs enjoy chewing, and the elongated shape of the bar makes it easy to hold between the paws or the teeth. The rope adds give and grip, which is what makes tug games satisfying. As with any natural wood, the grain and colour of each bar will vary a little, so no two toys look exactly alike.

How to use and care for it

Offer it for tug, fetch or a calm chew on a mat. Play with it together where you can, and keep an eye on the wear: if the rope begins to fray heavily or the wood splinters or cracks, retire the toy and replace it. Store it somewhere dry between uses, and let it dry fully if it gets damp. A stiff brush will clear dirt from the rope, and a dry or barely damp cloth is enough for the wood.

Why it works

Chewing and tugging are natural behaviours for dogs, and a toy that supports both gives energy somewhere good to go. Combining wood and rope in one piece means one toy covers two kinds of play, so it can live in the basket by the door and come out whenever the mood strikes.

A considered gift

It suits a new puppy household, a dog-loving friend, or anyone who prefers natural-looking materials in their dog's toy box. The rope-and-wood look makes it an easy present to wrap and a toy that doesn't feel out of place in a tidy home.

Common questions

Is it for chewing or tugging?
Both. The coffee wood bar is there for chewing, and the braided loop with its knots gives you something to grip for tug games.
Can I leave my dog alone with it?
We'd suggest supervised play, as with any chew toy. Natural wood and rope can wear down over time, so check the toy regularly and replace it once it is damaged.
Will every toy look identical?
Not quite. Wood varies naturally in grain and tone, so each bar has its own character.
