The BungeeChewie Ball by Joy of Dog Sports is a soft leather ball with an elastic bungee handle for tugging together, chasing and rewarding your dog during training. Genuine leather and sheep's wool filling give it softness and a natural scent that may encourage your dog to play.
The ball has a diameter of approximately 11 cm. The longer handle stretches when pulled, and its fleece lining makes it more comfortable to hold. It is easy to include the toy in short play breaks during training or energetic games together outdoors. Choose a version with or without a squeaker depending on whether your dog enjoys sound during play.
Product detailed description
A reward you can play tug with
A short game together can be an enjoyable way to finish an exercise and give your dog a reason to get back to work. The BungeeChewie Ball combines a soft leather ball with a longer elastic handle that you can comfortably hold while tugging or offering the toy for your dog to chase.
The sheep's wool filling gives the ball a pliable shape. Both leather and wool have a natural scent and texture that may appeal to dogs that enjoy natural materials. Use the toy during training, agility or a game together on a walk.
What you will appreciate when playing together
Stretch during tug play
The bungee section of the handle extends when pulled, allowing you to follow your dog's movements smoothly.
Comfortable grip
The fleece lining at the grip makes the handle feel more comfortable against your palm.
With or without a squeaker
A squeaker adds a sound to play that may increase your dog's interest. If you do not want squeaking, choose the version without a squeaker.
Another use for leather
Quality offcuts from furniture manufacturing are used as material for a dog toy.
A longer handle for tugging and movement
The handle is 38 cm long and reaches up to 54 cm when stretched. The elastic section responds to pulling during play, while the fleece-lined grip sits comfortably in your hand. These measurements refer to the handle, not the toy's total length.
Offer the ball for your dog to grip, enjoy a short tug together or throw it as a reward. Adjust the length of the game and the strength of your pull to your dog's size and experience. To start with, a few seconds during which your dog is keen to engage are often enough.
Genuine leather and sheep's wool
Joy of Dog Sports uses genuine leather offcuts from Finnish furniture manufacturing. Inside the ball is sheep's wool from a local Finnish farm, washed, combed and otherwise only minimally processed. These materials find a use in a toy for active time together.
The BungeeChewie Ball is designed in Finland and handmade mainly in Finland. Because it is made by hand, individual pieces may vary slightly in the amount of filling and their finished appearance. Gentle care and play in dry conditions will benefit the leather.
Who will enjoy the BungeeChewie Ball?
How to include the toy in training
Start with a short game and watch what your dog enjoys most.
1. Spark interest
Let your dog explore the ball and offer it to grip. Gentle movements can introduce a short chase of the toy.
2. Play together
Hold the handle and give your dog a short game of tug. Adjust the intensity to your dog's strength and enthusiasm for play.
3. Reward a successful exercise
Follow a completed task with a favourite game. Afterwards, check the ball and put it away until your next training session together.
Help with choosing the right size
The ball is approximately 11 cm in diameter. When choosing, consider the size of your dog's mouth, their strength and their style of play. Your dog should be able to grip the ball comfortably. The manufacturer recommends the Chewie range especially for medium to larger dogs, but the individual dog and their grip are what matter.
A smaller ball may be more suitable for very small dogs, while a more robust toy may suit very strong dogs that play vigorously. The elastic handle measures 38–54 cm, and its length does not change the size of the part your dog holds in their mouth.
With a squeaker or without? The version with a squeaker may suit dogs that are motivated to play by sound. Choose the version without a squeaker if you do not want an extra sound during tug play. Select the version together with the colour from the product options.
A toy for the time you spend together
Use for supervised play together. Put the toy away after rewarding your dog; it is not intended for unsupervised chewing. Check the leather, seams and handle regularly, and stop using the toy if it becomes damaged.

How should you care for the toy?
- Gently remove dirt with a damp cloth or brush. Do not soak the toy.
- Protect it from getting soaked and avoid using it in freezing conditions to help the leather retain its suppleness and durability.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Let it dry before putting it away.
- Sheep's wool may have a stronger scent when damp. This is a characteristic of the natural material.
Does every variant have a squeaker?
No. We offer the BungeeChewie Ball with and without a squeaker. A squeaker adds a sound that may encourage some dogs to play more enthusiastically. If you do not want squeaking, choose the version without a squeaker. Both versions have a leather ball filled with sheep's wool and an elastic handle.
Is the ball suitable for tugging?
Yes. The longer bungee handle is designed for playing together and stretches when pulled. Hold it by the grip, let your dog take hold of the ball and adjust the strength of tugging to your dog's size and experience.
Is it suitable for a small dog?
It depends on mouth size and style of play. The ball is approximately 11 cm in diameter, so it may be too large for a very small dog. Choose according to a comfortable grip, not just age or breed.
Can my dog play with it alone?
The manufacturer intends it for supervised play together. Do not leave it with your dog for unsupervised chewing, and put it away after training. Even when playing together, regularly check the condition of the materials and seams.
Is it suitable for water or playing in the snow?
The manufacturer recommends protecting the leather from getting soaked and avoiding use in freezing conditions. Choose dry conditions for this toy and gently wipe away everyday dirt.
