Kiss Dog Training Kansas City🐾 How to Actually Use a Kong (Without Making It Too Easy)

 

How to Use a Kong the Right Way (And Why It Matters):

Everyone knows I love Kong’s. They’re one of the simplest, most effective tools you can use to keep dogs busy, mentally engaged, and out of trouble.

That said, a lot of people get confused about how to use them correctly — what to put in them, how full to make them, and how challenging they should actually be.

I came across a video on social media that does a great job breaking this down, and I had to share it.

🐾 Why Kongs Work (When Used Correctly)

A properly used Kong:

  • provides mental stimulation
  • helps reduce boredom
  • encourages calm, focused behavior
  • gives dogs an appropriate outlet for chewing

But when they’re stuffed the wrong way — too easy, too hard, or not thought through — they lose a lot of their value.

This video walks through the logic behind stuffing Kongs the right way, instead of just tossing treats in and hoping for the best.

🐾 Worth Watching

If you use Kongs regularly (or want to), this is absolutely worth a few minutes of your time.
