the link below is where you can get the actual "tug 'n treat" toy but you can also use basically anything that has an opening (the Dr.Noys plush toys work really well, Q-Tease toys work too- )

It is really amazing how well this can work. I have had dogs in my classes who wound not dream of putting their lips on a toy- in a matter of a few weeks they are absolutely crazy for this toy....
The big key to remember is that the dog only gets it when they've earned it. And it's your job to make a big deal of it to bring the excitement up.
Also- clean run has come out with a new tow that is similar- except that it is kind of the second step to getting your dog to tug..

It is a good thing to teach toy drive- even if you're not doing agility. It is useful for obedience, rally...whatever....
Let me know how it goes!
