It widely known that one of the best dog toys on the market is the Kong. Ever since its launch 35 years ago, it’s been a bestseller for dog training and relieving dog anxiety.
Dog owners with exercise as their number one priority will also know the Kong is one of the most sturdiest products out there.
The hole in the Kong is primarily used for dog treats. Pop a few in there and it’ll keep your four-legged friend nice and busy (or distracted for those with SAD), but did you know there’s actually a right way to stuff a kong?
No, us neither, until we caught up with dog trainer and behaviourist Oli Juste.
“Watch the video above for a lovely bit of Kong DIY.”
We suggest you wear gloves for this!
When You Stuff A Kong
Remember to put the smelliest item at the bottom so your dog can really work at getting to the good stuff.
