The DURACOT™ Power Can is the next step up from our Can-Can — same familiar cylinder shape your dog already knows, built longer to promote a deeper, fuller grips and dial up the drive in your training sessions. It's not a different toy, it's a better one — and it works for any dog ready to take their play and grip work up a level. Available in DURACOT™ for maximum durability or Jute for the traditional bite feel.
-
Longer profile for fuller grips: The Power Can runs longer than the standard Can-Can, encouraging the dog to commit to a deeper, more complete mouth grip. A natural step up in the can family — familiar shape, more surface to work with.
-
Available in DURACOT™: Dog Sport Supply Co.'s exclusive double-layer fabric — engineered for working and sport dogs that train hard and train often. Holds up where standard materials give out.
-
Available in Jute: The traditional protection sport bite surface. Firm, consistent, and familiar to dogs already working on jute equipment. A natural choice for sport dog handlers who want continuity across their training tools.
-
Drive-building and reward work: A longer, more substantial toy increases perceived value in high-prey dogs. Use it as a primary reward marker to reinforce the behaviors that matter most.
-
Versatile training tool: Effective for grip development, prey drive work, tug, fetch-based reward play, and general drive-building sessions across protection sport, obedience, and agility.

Power Can vs. Can-Can — Which One Is Right?
-
DURACOT™ Power Can (this item): Longer cylinder profile. Same familiar can shape your dog knows, built longer to encourage a deeper, fuller grip and more drive. The right step up when you want more out of your reward toy and your dog is ready to deliver it.
-
Can-Can DURACOT™: The classic compact cylinder with leather side panels and two soft handles. The go-to reward toy for two-toy dumbbell training, obedience work, and general play. If your dog is new to can-style training toys, start here.
DURACOT™ vs. Jute — Material Guide
-
DURACOT™: Dog Sport Supply Co.'s exclusive double-layer woven fabric. More resistant to bite wear and surface degradation than standard materials. The right call for dogs that train frequently and put serious pressure on their equipment.
-
Jute: Natural fiber with a firm, traditional bite surface used across IGP, French Ring, and KNPV training for decades. If your dog already works on jute equipment, jute keeps their bite experience consistent across tools.
-
Not sure? Go DURACOT™ if durability is the priority. Go Jute if your club trains on jute and you want to match the material your dog knows.
Quick tip: Use the Power Can's size to your advantage during reward sequences. A larger toy presented with energy after a strong behavior creates more arousal and reinforcement value than a standard-sized toy delivered flatly. The tool is only as powerful as the handler behind it — bring the energy and your dog will match it.
Designed by Dog Sport Supply Co. for sport dog handlers who demand more from their training equipment.
FAQs
What makes the Power Can different from other can-style training toys?
Length and intent. The Power Can runs longer than the standard Can-Can — same familiar cylinder shape, just more of it. That extra length encourages the dog to take a deeper, fuller mouth grip rather than a shallow bite on the end. It's a grip development tool as much as it is a reward toy, and for dogs that are ready for it, the longer profile is the whole point.
Is the Power Can appropriate for all dogs?
The Power Can works well for any dog with established drive and a solid foundation in reward-based play. It's a step up from the Can-Can in length, not a completely different category of equipment. Dogs that already work confidently with the Can-Can are great candidates. If your dog is just getting started with can-style toys, begin with the Can-Can DURACOT™ and move to the Power Can once they're consistently engaged and gripping well.
Which material should I order — DURACOT™ or Jute?
If your dog trains hard and you want a toy that holds up session after session, DURACOT™ is the more durable long-term choice. If your dog already works on jute equipment in sport training and you want material consistency across your tools, go jute. Both deliver the same oversized profile and grip-building benefits — this is a durability and preference decision, not a performance one.
Can I use the Power Can for tug work?
Yes — the Power Can's size and construction make it well-suited for tug sessions, drive-building exercises, and prey-based reward play. The larger profile gives the handler a solid grip point while the dog works the toy, making it a natural fit for handler-dog tug interaction during training.
How does the Power Can fit into a broader training program?
The Power Can works best as a high-value reward marker and grip development tool. Use it to reinforce the behaviors you most want to strengthen — a bigger, more exciting toy delivered with energy raises the reinforcement value of the reward sequence. It also works well for standalone drive-building sessions between formal training, keeping the dog's prey drive sharp and their enthusiasm for work high.
