Dog Sport Supply Rubber Ball with Loop or String Available in 6 cm & 7 cm · Purple, Orange, and Blue · Loop or String Handle A high-energy reward toy built for drive work, obedience, and tug play. The DSSC Rubber Ball delivers the bounce, scent, and feel dogs go crazy for — paired with a soft flat tubular webbing handle that spreads force evenly across your hand so you can play harder, longer, without the grip fatigue. Available in your choice of size and color, with a string or loop handle to match your training style. Hand-friendly handle: Soft flat tubular webbing distributes force across your palm — no hot spots, no rope burn, just comfortable control through every tug rep. Your choice of handle style: String for classic throws and retrieves, or loop for two-handed tug and grip work. High-quality rubber: Durable, bouncy, and scent-rich to keep drive high across long sessions. Two sizes: 6 cm and 7 cm to match your dog's mouth and drive level (see size guide below). Three colors: Purple, Orange, and Blue — because your dog absolutely cares. (You might too.) Size Guide — Metric & Freedom Units 🦅 6 cm diameter — That's roughly 2.36 inches in Freedom Units  7 cm diameter — That's roughly 2.76 inches across in Freedom Units Not sure which to pick? Smaller dogs and puppies generally do better with the 6 cm. Larger breeds with full grips tend to prefer the 7 cm. Handle Options String Handle: Classic length for throwing, retrieves, and keeping distance during reward work. Loop Handle: Closed loop for two-handed tug, drive building, and close-quarters reward play. The flat tubular webbing keeps it comfortable no matter how hard your dog pulls. Available Colors Purple — For the dog that demands royalty treatment and good visibilty. Orange — High visibility for humans. Easy to find in the grass. Your dog will still lose it because they see orange the same as green. Blue — Which is high visibility for a dog. Quick tip: The flat tubular webbing handle is the real star here. Unlike round rope or cord handles that dig into your palm under load, the flat webbing spreads the force across a wider surface — so you can go rep after rep without your hand paying the price. Designed for working dogs and the handlers who train them. FAQs Which size should I choose — 6 cm or 7 cm? Go with 6 cm (about 2.36 inches across — that's diameter, or "bigger than a golf ball" in Freedom Units 🦅) for smaller dogs, puppies, or dogs still building grip confidence. The 7 cm (roughly 2.76 inches across — firmly in racquetball territory) is better suited for larger breeds and dogs with a strong, full grip. What's the difference between the string and loop handle? The string handle gives you extra length for throws and retrieves, keeping the dog at a distance during reward work. The loop handle is a closed grip — ideal for tug, drive building, and close-contact play. Both use the same soft flat tubular webbing that distributes force across your palm instead of digging in like round rope. Why flat tubular webbing instead of a regular rope handle? Round cord and rope handles concentrate force on a narrow strip of your hand — after a few hard tug sessions, you feel it. Flat tubular webbing spreads that same force across a much wider surface area, keeping your hand comfortable through long training sessions without sacrificing grip or control. Does color affect anything other than looks? Yes!! — all three colors (Purple, Orange, Blue) are the same ball. That said, Orange is the easiest for humans to spot in grass or low light, which your future self will appreciate when your dog buries it in the yard. Your Dog sees purple and blue better in grass.  Is this ball suitable for aggressive chewers? This ball is designed as a reward and drive toy, not an unsupervised chew toy. It's built tough for tug and fetch work but should be used during supervised training sessions. Put it away when the session ends — it stays in better shape and keeps its value as a high-drive reward.
