Warm Handled Tug - Interactive Fleece Tug Toy

Play • Create • Inspire

Bring interactive play into your pet’s routine with the Nova Zeal Handled Tug, a handcrafted fleece toy designed for connection focus and positive engagement. 

Perfect for short games at home, training rewards, or strengthening the bond between you and your dog, this tug toy offers a safe outlet for play while keeping interaction calm and structured.

Braided by hand in the Scottish Highlands using soft anti-pill fleece, the handled design gives you a comfortable grip while remaining gentle on your dog's teeth and gums.

Why Tug Play Matters

Tug games can help dogs channel their energy in a positive way while building trust between pet and handler. Structured play encourages focus, confidence and engagement.

Handled tug toys are ideal for:

• Training reward games
• Bonding sessions after walks
• Confidence building through play
• Short indoor games on rainy days
• Structured interactive play with your dog 

The Warm Collection

This design draws inspiration from forests and earthy Highland tones that feel cosy and grounding. The palette draws on colours found across the Scottish landscape, from deep greens and rich berry tones to warmer shades reminiscent of autumn foliage and heather-covered hills.

When translated into fleece, these tones layer together to create warmth and depth within the finished tug toy, forming a palette that feels natural, cosy and connected to the outdoors.
