Tivray Outdoor Bungee Tug Toy with 3 Dog Chew Ropes (Tree Hanging Bungee Tugger) – Orange/Black
Product description
The essentials
If your dog gets bored easily, a tree-hanging tug toy can be a simple way to add structure to play. The Tivray Outdoor Bungee Tug Toy is designed for that “pull, tug, let go and repeat” rhythm, with an elastic cord that helps keep the action going without needing you to constantly throw or chase.
On paper, it’s aimed at small to large breeds, and the set includes three chew ropes intended to rotate so your dog doesn’t lose interest quickly. You mount it to a branch outdoors, adjust the cord height, and let your dog work through bursts of energy.
What to know before you buy
This is a hands-on, supervision-required kind of toy. The manufacturer note is clear: you should use it under supervision, and you must make sure the branch can cope with the force your dog will generate when pulling.
The elastic cord length is listed as 365.7–400.3 cm, which gives you some working room depending on your branch height and how high you set the toy. If your garden is tight or the only branches available are low, it may end up being harder to position in a way that feels safe and comfortable for your dog.
Key features
The tugger’s core idea is the bungee effect: there’s a double-spring elastic cord inside a nylon outer layer. The goal is durability and elasticity, so the toy can handle strong tugs without snapping easily.
Alongside the bungee cord, you get three chew ropes made from a tougher polyester fibre. The intention is twofold: give your dog something to grip during tug play, and offer gentle day-to-day chewing. The idea of rotating between the three ropes is also practical if your dog tends to “stick” with one item and ignore everything else.
Where it shines in everyday play
The most convincing use case is letting your dog burn off energy outdoors in short, supervised sessions. For example, you can attach the elastic cord through the chew rope, loop it over a sturdy branch, wind and tension it, then set the height so your dog has to stretch or jump slightly to reach it.
In use, the elastic action encourages jumping and pulling, and it naturally supports a mix of activities—tugging, pushing and turning—rather than only chewing in place.
Limitations and who should be careful
It may not be a great match if you’re looking for a fully hands-free toy. Because it’s designed to be fixed to a branch and the brand explicitly asks for supervision, you’ll need to be nearby.
Also, if you can’t confidently assess whether a branch can take the pulling force, don’t rush the setup. The toy’s effectiveness depends a lot on safe mounting, and that’s not something the toy can compensate for.

Mini FAQ
Is this suitable for small and large breeds?
The description says it’s suitable across small, medium and large breeds, but as with any tug toy, your dog’s pulling strength and how well the branch holds will still matter.
How do you set it up?
You pass the elastic cord through a chew rope, throw it over a sturdy branch, wrap and tension it, then adjust the height depending on how reachable you want the toy to be.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes—the outer nylon is described as weather resistant, which makes it more suitable for longer outdoor sessions than indoor-only toys.
Does it help with chewing?
The chew ropes are made to be worn down through chewing, and the description suggests it can help support dental cleaning through easy, gentle chewing.
Should I rotate the ropes?
That’s the idea. The set includes three ropes in different styles, so swapping them around can help keep interest.
Is it worth it?
Buying verdict
It makes sense if you want an outdoor tug-and-chew setup that keeps play going through elastic recoil, and you’re happy to supervise while it’s mounted to a suitable branch. The inclusion of three chew ropes is also a practical touch if boredom is the issue.
You may want to skip it if you don’t have a safe mounting option outdoors, or if you’re after a toy you can leave your dog with unattended. In that situation, it’s likely to feel more hassle than value, because the setup and safety checks are part of the deal.
