My vizsla mix, Penny, ripped up the ropes in no time (she's good at that). We tied the remnants back up and added some extra rope toys that we had lying around to go back through. The second round lasted a bit longer than the first, but mostly because I think she got bored with it. It'd probably be a good toy to play fetch with but not for when you just want something to keep your dog busy. She did manage to cut into the "super-tough" plastic part, which, sidenote: I realized it rather resembled something that may look like a toy not for dogs, but for adults, if you get my meaning...so that kind of weirded me out a little bit (maybe I just have my mind in the gutter).

Pros: Ropes and textures keep dog's interest

Cons: Doesn't take them long to rip it up

My lab demolished this in about 10 minutes. He pulled all the ropes out and then chewed on the blue tube part. He liked it while he lasted though!

Pros: my dog enjoyed it

Cons: not durable

I think i enjoy playing with this more than the dog, i usually use it to get him to play tug of war and then eventually fetch it.

Pros: fun

Cons: not long enough
