The TeenyTiny Ball by Joy of Dog Sports is a small leather ball with a squeaker and an elastic bungee handle, designed primarily for puppies and very small dogs. Supple leather and sheep's wool filling give it a soft feel and a natural scent that may interest your dog during your first games together.
The leather section measures approximately 4 × 10 cm. The fleece-lined handle is 38 cm long and reaches up to 54 cm when stretched. You can offer the toy for gentle tug play, a short chase or carrying, and use it as a reward during training.
Product detailed description
First play rewards for little mouths
Small dogs can enjoy a game of tug together as a reward, too. The TeenyTiny Ball combines a small, soft leather section with a longer elastic handle that makes it easy to move the toy and offer it for your dog to grip. Use it to build an interest in playing together or for short play breaks while learning.
You can let your dog chase the ball, throw it for them or play a gentle game of tug. The squeaker adds a sound that may appeal to some dogs. Start with a few seconds and adapt the length and intensity of the game to what suits your dog.
What you will appreciate when playing together
Small, soft toy
The leather section with sheep's wool is designed primarily for puppies and very small dogs.
Stretch during tug play
The bungee handle extends when pulled, allowing you to follow your dog's movements smoothly.
Squeaker inside
The sound may encourage the interest of dogs that enjoy squeaky toys.
Comfortable grip
The soft fleece lining makes the handle feel more comfortable against your palm.
A small ball with a longer elastic handle
The handle is 38 cm long and reaches up to 54 cm when stretched. These measurements refer to the handle; the leather section itself measures approximately 4 × 10 cm. When playing tug, hold the fleece-lined grip and let your dog take hold of the ball.
Offer the toy from your hand as a reward, let your dog chase it briefly or throw it for them. Its small size makes it easy to take along to training or on a walk. For a puppy, choose gentle play appropriate to their size and experience.
Genuine leather and soft sheep's wool
Joy of Dog Sports uses genuine leather offcuts from Finnish furniture manufacturing. Inside the TeenyTiny is sheep's wool from a local Finnish farm, washed, combed and otherwise only minimally processed. The leather and wool give the toy a yielding feel and a natural scent.
The TeenyTiny Ball is designed in Finland and handmade primarily in Finland. As it is handmade, individual toys may vary slightly in the amount of filling and their finished appearance. Gentle care and play in dry conditions help look after the leather.
Who will enjoy the TeenyTiny Ball?
How to start playing together
Let your dog get to know the toy and follow their interest.
1. Offer the ball
Let your dog sniff the toy, then use a gentle movement to offer the leather section for them to grip. Watch whether they also enjoy the sound of the squeaker.
2. Play tug gently
Hold the handle and follow your dog's movements. Adapt the strength of your pull and the length of the game to their size, age and experience.
3. Make play a reward
Offer a short favourite game after a successful exercise. When you have finished, check the ball and put it away until your next training session together.
Help with choosing the right size
The leather section measures approximately 4 × 10 cm. When choosing, consider the size of your dog's mouth and their style of play. Your dog should be able to grip the ball comfortably; the length of the elastic handle does not change the size of the section in their mouth.
The manufacturer intends the TeenyTiny primarily for puppies and very small dogs. Even for a puppy, their actual size and strength matter. For larger dogs or those with a very vigorous style of play, choose an appropriately larger and more robust toy.
The TeenyTiny Ball 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 ball 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.

Does the TeenyTiny Ball have a squeaker?
Yes, a squeaker is included in the ball. It adds a sound stimulus to playing together that may appeal to some dogs. Choose according to whether your dog enjoys squeaking.
Is it suitable for every puppy?
The manufacturer designed it primarily for puppies and very small dogs. Age alone is not enough, however: mouth size, strength and style of play also matter. Your dog should be able to grip the leather section, measuring approximately 4 × 10 cm, comfortably. A larger toy may suit a bigger, stronger puppy better.
What do the measurements of 4 × 10 cm and 38–54 cm mean?
The dimensions of 4 × 10 cm refer to the toy's leather section. The measurement of 38–54 cm describes the length of the bungee handle: 38 cm without stretching and up to 54 cm when stretched.
Can my dog play with the ball alone?
The manufacturer intends it for supervised play together. Do not leave it with your dog for independent chewing, and put it away after training. Check the condition of the material and seams regularly, even during shared play.
Is it suitable for water or playing in 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 off everyday dirt.
