A knotted cotton rope is one of the simplest toys around, and one of the most versatile. It's a tug toy, a fetch toy, and, with the right approach, a training tool.
Why rope toys work well for training
Rope toys give dogs a satisfying reward for good behavior during recall or obedience practice, and knotted textures also help clean teeth as your dog chews and pulls.
