Download Fourth Rope Zip

These easy to make colorful rope toys are great for any size dog. Just scale up or down the diameter of the rope to fit your dog, 1/4" for small dogs or 3/8" for large dogs. Directions given are for a basic toss/tug toy pictured below. Pictured are several variations based on the basic knot that can be created with a little practice and creativity.

Sorry for the slow reply but sisal rope, cotton rope & hemp rope are all considered to be safe for dogs. I should really update that instructable with new rope and designs...it is almost 10 years old. Thanks for the inspiration!

I made the rope toy and it felt super sturdy. Took me about an hour to put together. My pit has had it less than ten minutes and already has the ends pulled out. I tried to fix it by tying regular knots but that was child's play for her. Wish there were a better way to tie it off at the end. I'll keep hunting. Thanks for the tutorial!

Nice! I would never have thought of this. I acquired a Chihuahua puppy just last night and, being totally unprepared for dogginess, was anxious to create something for her to chew on besides me. This fit the bill, especially after I realized I'd made tons of lanyards using this technique! I'm going to try your Y-shaped 'ible next. OH..I used bakers' twine because she is very teen tiny and my nylon rope was just too big.

Yard waste does not belong in either your blue recycle or your black trash bin. Leaves and lawn clippings belong in brown paper, compostable bags. branches need to be less than 3 feet long, lighter than 30 pounds and bundled with rope or twine. Place landscaping leftovers like gourds in your yard waste bags and hay bales set out with your other yard waste. View more information on residential yard waste. 781b155fdc
