I would be more concerned about the teeth, because their teeth are so fragile. My boy is an agility dog and LOVES tug. I've made it my goal to make him really soft fleece rope tugs that are gentle, and I assure that it's always me and "daddy" playing tug... cause it appears like I'm playing rough with him (he spins, jumps, flips, hangs from the tug *with his paws), but really I'm not pulling I'm just following him around and letting him pull.
I've never heard of anything like that damaging the trachea, I was under the impression that more of a pressure (like from a collar) would cause damage.
