Frozen KONGS & Everything That's Good in Life
- Frozen KONGS are a dog’s and dog trainer’s best friend. They are very useful in many situations. They can be used to keep the dog busy, happy, and quiet for just about any thing that can come up, whether planned or spur of the moment.
- Frozen KONGS can help with separation anxiety, chewing issues, getting a dog to love his crate, and many other behavior situations.
- The KONG is a hard rubber tubular (kind of) shaped toy with a hollow inside, a small hole on one end and a bigger hole on the other. When stuffed with your dogs favorite foods and then frozen it has the potential to be a 30-90 (depending on the dog) minute feast for your dog.
- Your dog may need to get used to good things coming out of the KONG before you freeze it. Start with treats.
- High value food is different for all dogs. Use foods they already are familiar with and if you expand the menu, do it slowly and sparingly.
- KONGS come in many different sizes and styles. As with all toys make sure you use the appropriate size toys for you dog.
- Go slow, ease them into it and you will have them jumping for joy and running into their crates every time you give them their “special” look and open the freezer.
