The Outward Hound Tail Teaser Durable Dog Wand is an excellent toy for dogs who love to play fetch or hunt. The wand is made of durable nylon cord that is flexible enough to last through hours of playtime or training. It comes with two faux fur plush toys that squeak and rattle to mimic the sound of prey, activating your dog’s natural hunting instincts.

One unique feature of this toy is its compatibility with Zip & Zoom agility kits. The Tail Teaser teasing pole is a perfect companion to the agility kits, whether you’re looking to teach your pup commands, tricks, or just have fun. However, it is essential to note that no toy is indestructible, and it’s best not to leave toys with unsupervised pets. Remove and replace the toy if it’s damaged.
