Heart on a String - Ultra-Durable Rubber Chew Toy, Tug Toy & Reward Ball for Large Dogs
The Heart on a String is a USA-made, ultra-durable rubber chew toy and multi-purpose training tool designed specifically for large dogs (30-65 lbs) who are power chewers, super chewers, and working dogs. This heart-shaped reward ball with attached rope combines romantic charm with serious functionality, creating an engaging toy perfect for chewing, tugging, retrieving, and reward-based training. Ideal for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or year-round enrichment.
What Makes the Heart on a String Special?
Unlike ordinary dog toys, the Heart on a String serves four distinct purposes: it's an indestructible chew toy for aggressive chewers, a tug toy with built-in handle for interactive play, a retrieving toy for fetch games, and a reward ball for training working dogs and high-drive dogs. The attached rope provides excellent grip for handlers during tug-of-war games and makes it easy to throw for retrieving exercises, while the heart shape adds festive charm for Valentine's Day and romantic occasions.
Key Benefits & Features

This isn't a toy that will be destroyed in minutes—it's engineered specifically for large dogs, power chewers, super chewers, and heavy chewers who need indestructible dog toys that last through months of daily chewing and play.
Multi-Purpose Training Tool: The Heart on a String serves as a chew toy for solo enrichment, tug toy for interactive play with the built-in string handle, retrieving toy for fetch games, and reward ball for training sessions.

Why Working Dog Handlers Love the String Handle
The built-in string handle makes the Heart on a String especially popular with working dog handlers, K9 trainers, and owners of high-drive dogs. The string provides excellent control during tug games, makes it easy to throw for retrieving exercises, and allows handlers to present the toy as a reward without putting hands near the dog's mouth. This design feature makes it safer and more functional than standard ball-shaped reward toys.
Why Large Dogs Love the Heart Shape
The heart silhouette triggers curiosity and engagement in dogs. The rounded shape with pointed bottom creates interesting bouncing patterns that activate your dog's natural prey drive and chase instincts. The textured rubber surface provides satisfying grip for chewing and carrying, while the attached string adds an extra element of interest during play.
