Floating Dog Ball on a Rope for Fetch and Tug

A ball on a rope turns an ordinary game of fetch into something better. Swing it by the rope and it can fly farther than a hand toss. Hold the loop and it becomes a tug toy. This dog ball on a rope pairs a lightweight EVA foam ball with a braided rope handle. It floats, so the fun keeps going at the pool, lake, or beach.

Built for Throwing, Tugging and Swimming

The EVA foam is light and springy, which makes it easier on your dog's mouth when they snatch it mid-air. It holds up well to regular fetch and tug sessions. The braided rope gives you a clean handle to grab, so you're not reaching for a slobbery ball before every throw.

Because it floats, water-loving dogs can spot and retrieve it easily. The bright yellow color stands out on grass and water, and grooves in the ball give your dog something to grip.

Key Features

• EVA foam ball: Lightweight, springy, and easy to catch.
• Floats in water: Made for pool, lake, and beach fetch.
• Braided rope handle: Throw it farther, or use it for tug.
• Grooved surface: Easier for dogs to grab and carry.

Three Ways to Play

Fetch: Hold the rope and swing the ball overhand for longer throws across a field or out into the water.

Tug: Keep hold of the rope while your dog grips the ball, with your hand well away from teeth.

Training rewards: Many trainers use a ball on a rope as a high-value reward. Pull it out when your dog nails a recall or command, then tuck it away again. Find more tools in our dog training accessories.

Choose Your Size

• 7 cm (2.8 in) ball: Best for puppies and small dogs.
• 9 cm (3.5 in) ball: Best for small to medium dogs.
• Rope: About 50 cm (19.7 in) on both sizes.

Care and Safety

Rinse the ball and rope after water or mud play, and let them air dry. If bite marks build up, soak the ball in hot water to help the foam recover some of its shape.

This toy isn't indestructible, and persistent chewers can tear EVA foam. Supervise play, don't leave it out for solo chewing, and replace it if pieces go missing or the rope starts to fray. Always choose a ball too large for your dog to swallow. Neither size is meant for large breeds.

Clip it to your bag for the next trip to the park or lake and give your dog a game they'll want to play again and again. Explore more dog toys, or gear up with our walk and outdoor essentials.
