 Broke in less than an hour. December 5, 2008
A. E. Karlsson (Cambridge, MA USA)
I bought this product to occupy my 13-month-old mix. She is an aggressive chewer, but the product description led me to believe that this toy was quite tough. When I received it, I was a little disheartened when I saw that the tug was rubber, rather than rope (as it appears in the picture)- as she tends to get through rubber toys with very little effort.
Nevertheless, I decided to try it out, she learned quickly that she could get treats out of it and it occupied her very well for almost an hour. At that point I went to dig it out from under the bed and was dismayed to find that the rubber "pull" was already in pieces. While the bottle still works and seems to keep her interested, I feel like dog toys should have a more indestructible nature than this one does. Especially for eleven dollars!
Don't understand the problem December 3, 2008

My one year old boxer is a big goofy, playful dog. He adores chewing on water bottles, stuffed toys, milk bones, you name it. I really thought this toy would be a terrific idea for him but he is absolutely terrified of it. He growls and barks at it, won't even smell it. Sounds terrific to me but I guess if you're considering this toy you should probably bring your pup to a pet store to introduce him to it first.
Great toy, but NOISY! December 1, 2008

My dogs love this toy, but they throw it around so much that the noise on my hardwood floors drives me nuts! We save it for special occasions now.

I think this toy has potential, but it didn't come as pictured. The rope is not actually a rope, it's a plastic mimic of a rope and my dog can't seem to figure out that he can tug at it like he can his tug rope. He quickly figured out all the other busy buddy toys and the buster cube, so I assume the rope just seems too foreign. I am going to buy an actual tug tope that will fit and try that instead. Will update review once I do this.
 This thing was made for terriers November 23, 2008

My husband and I have two English Jack Russell Terriers under six months old. They're both much more interested in playing than eating, but my vet was adamant that letting them graze all day would make house training significantly more difficult.
The answer has been to make their eating more of a challenge. We've got two oversized Kongs that we'll fill with their breakfast, but they eat out of the kongs very quickly. In the evening, we needed something that would keep the puppies busy for at least ten minutes, so one of us could get some food in our own mouths before it was time for the pack to go out.
The tug-a-jug has been great. Both puppies are challenged by it, but not so challenged that they lose interest. There's a perfect balance between work and reward. It holds a lot of food and assorted small treats, it's pretty easy to load, and the beasts haven't figured out how to unscrew the bottom lid.
Some of the pictures for this product on various websites show a rope. Mine actually came with a silicone "rope" that's got a cone shape at the end, which ensures something gets scooped to the neck almost every time they pull on it.
Only downside for my two is that if the food drops below a certain level they lose interest... might be because it's too much work, or it might be because they're full. Either way I have to make sure to dump the leftovers into a kong or a dish at least once a week so they get to eat the food before it gets stale.
