Today, most domestic dogs don't have to work for food. In nature, however, dogs are predatory meat-eaters. Hunting for food is physically and intellectually challenging. The hunt is their "work." Success on the job results in a well-earned "paycheck" – their meal. Eating meat off the bone satisfies their hunger, exercises their jaw muscles and keeps their teeth and gums clean. Extreme KONG® helps satisfy dog's natural instincts and assists in preventing: excessive barking, destructive chewing, soiling, digging and separation anxiety. Fill with your dog's favorite treats or food to keep your dog entertained the healthy way.
Kong Dog Toys are widely used and recommended for therapy and prevention of understimulation, boredom, separation anxiety and other behavioral problems. Following are some simple ways Kongs can be utilized to promote good behavior in your dog.
Stuffing a Kong:
Step One: Start with a clean Kong toy appropriately sized for your dog. For example, small breeds need medium sized Kongs for stuffing.
Step Two: Place a small morsel of freeze-dried liver, peanut butter or cheese into the little hole on top.
Step Three: Fill approximately one-third of the cavity with doggie treats such as biscuits, marrow bites etc.
Step Four: Fill the last two-thirds with canned food or food roll mixed with food nuggets.
Step Five: Leave a nice tidbit sticking out of the opening. The "easy pickins" will provide an immediate pay off and entice your dog to "get serious" about the job.
It is important for dogs to succeed at their "work". Make it easy to remove the Kong stuffing at first. As your dog becomes more experienced, you may want to pack the stuffing tighter, wedge biscuits inside the cavity etc.
