Carhartt Monkey Fist Dog Pull Brown P000043420199

A classic knot, the monkey fist is used to throw lines from dock to ship. On the Carhartt Monkey Fist Dog Pull it creates a tight, weighted throwing head that arcs cleanly when flung and gives a dog a natural, satisfying grip profile for carrying and presenting back to hand - making it a more effective fetch and retrieval training tool than a loose rope end. The ergonomic molded rubber handle gives the handler a firm, non-slip grip for controlled tug sessions and accurate throws, sized for a human hand so tug becomes a productive training exercise rather than a raw strength contest. Three-ply braided cotton floss rope gives the dog excellent resistance to pull against and is gentle on teeth and gums during hold and carry work, with a natural cleaning action as the dog engages the rope. In Blaze Orange so the handler can track where the pull lands in tall grass and outdoor training fields and direct the dog precisely to the mark. Three training uses in one well-built tool: throw and fetch with the monkey fist end, tug with the rubber handle, or full rope length engagement for person-to-dog or dog-to-dog work at close range. Total length 9.5 inches with a 3-inch knot. Built for supervised tug and fetch sessions under handler direction. Store between training sessions as you would any training equipment. A practical gift for dog trainers, sporting dog owners, new dog owners, and anyone building a working relationship with a dog that has a strong drive to retrieve and engage. Carhartt has been building workwear-grade gear since 1889. This pull is built to the same standard for the dogs that work as hard as the people who own them.
