The BungeeCutie by Joy of Dog Sports is a soft leather tug toy with a squeaker and an elastic bungee handle for playing together and rewarding your dog during training. Its flat tugging section, filled with sheep's wool, is easy to offer for your dog to grip, and the natural scent of the materials may encourage their interest in play.
The leather section measures approximately 17 × 7 × 2 cm. The fleece-lined handle makes holding the toy more comfortable and stretches from 38 cm to up to 54 cm when pulled. The BungeeCutie is an appealing choice especially for small and medium dogs that enjoy playing with a soft toy and respond to squeaking.
Product detailed description
A little play reward your dog can look forward to
A successful exercise, a short game of tug and the motivation to keep going. The BungeeCutie combines a flat leather toy with a longer elastic handle that makes it easy to move the toy and offer it for your dog to grip. Use it during training, agility or a game together on a walk.
The sheep's wool inside gives the tugging section its soft, yielding feel. The squeaker adds a sound that may appeal to dogs that enjoy squeaky toys. Adapt the length and intensity of the game to what your dog enjoys, and reward them with a few seconds of their favourite tug play.
What you will appreciate when playing together
Flat, soft shape
The leather section with sheep's wool is yielding and easy to offer for your dog to grip.
Stretch during tug play
The bungee handle extends when pulled, allowing you to follow your dog's movements smoothly.
Squeaker inside
The sound may add extra motivation for dogs that enjoy squeaky toys.
Comfortable grip
The soft fleece lining makes the handle feel more comfortable against your palm.
A handle that stretches during play
The handle is 38 cm long and reaches up to 54 cm when stretched. The elastic section responds to pulling during tug play, while the fleece-lined grip sits comfortably in your hand. This length refers to the handle; the leather section itself measures 17 × 7 × 2 cm.
You can offer the toy from your hand, let your dog chase it briefly or throw it as a reward. When playing tug, hold the handle and let your dog grip the leather section. Adapt the strength of your pull to your dog's size and experience.
Genuine leather put to further use
Joy of Dog Sports uses genuine leather offcuts from Finnish furniture manufacturing. The filling is sheep's wool from a local Finnish farm, washed, combed and otherwise only minimally processed. The combination of leather and wool gives the toy its natural scent and softness.
The BungeeCutie is designed in Finland and handmade primarily in Finland. Handmade production means that individual toys may vary slightly in the amount of filling and their finished appearance. Gentle care and play in dry conditions help the leather retain its properties.
Who will enjoy the BungeeCutie?
How to include the toy in training
Start with a short game together and watch your dog's response.
1. Spark interest
Let your dog explore the toy, then use a gentle movement to offer the leather section for them to grip. The squeaker may add another stimulus for play.
2. Play tug together
Hold the handle and follow your dog's movements. Adapt the length of the game and the strength of your pull to their size, age and experience.
3. Reward a successful exercise
Offer a favourite game after your dog completes a task. When you have finished, check the toy and put it away until your next training session together.
Help with choosing the right size
The leather tugging section measures approximately 17 × 7 × 2 cm. 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 leather section comfortably; the length of the bungee handle does not change the size of that grip.
The manufacturer includes the Cutie range among its options for small and medium dogs, as well as puppies. For an individual dog, however, a comfortable grip and appropriate play intensity are always the deciding factors. Consider a more robust model for very strong dogs with a vigorous style of play.
The BungeeCutie contains a squeaker. It is therefore suited to dogs that enjoy sound during play. If your dog is not interested in squeaking, consider a toy without a squeaker.
A toy for the time you spend together
Use for supervised play together. Put the tug 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.
