Fun Things To Try With Kong Toys


For Beginners Only…

Sometimes a dog doesn’t take to a new toy (such as a Kong dog chew) right away. In this case, you’ll need to find some fun ways to motivate a dog to try a new toy.

You might also consider refrigerating (rather than freezing) your dog’s Kong toy for a brief period after you stuff it with dog treats. That way, the contents will solidify a bit, yet they will not be as hard for your dog to get at if you were to freeze it.

For your dog to get the easiest, least challenging reward from a Kong toy, simply serve it at room temperature.
