xOverview
Ruffwear's Pacific Loop is an interactive tug toy designed to motivate and reward dogs during training and work. At 20.4 inches in length, the toy invites a confident, centered tug feel that most dogs intuitively enjoy. The design pairs a centrally placed tug pad with two wide grab handles, keeping hands safely away from eager mouths while encouraging steady, rewarding play. While it originated with avalanche rescue teams in mind, this tool suits a wide range of dogs that crave a structured tug session. When outdoor adventures call, the toy also floats, adding versatility to lakes, rivers, or snowy terrain as part of your play routine.
Training and Play Benefits
Built to support training sessions and interactive play, the Pacific Loop invites dogs to aim for the center of the toy and engage in focused, drive-driven interactions. The tug pad directs play toward a rewarding center, while the handles offer steadier control for handlers. The toy’s interactive nature makes it appealing to dogs with different play styles, helping to build drive, connection, and trust through each tug.

Care and Safety
