24.09.2022My dog is far smarter then your dog. We use a 1.5 l bottle for giving treats. Your dog would fail.

24.09.2022I free feed biscuits but not their raw feed. Dogs don't speed feed or get into bins. Never had an overweight dogs or food proud because they can just nibble when they are hungry. Works for me.

24.09.2022He takes my dog about five minutes to eat what’s inside the cone. And I have the right size for him it’s a small and he’s a small dog. I’ve also try to medium. So I don’t see how this is going to keep him occupied and said his crate for hours.
Allie David
24.09.2022Question: If a dog is eating his first meal of the day right as he’s being crated for +- 8 hours, does it not cause him to feel the need to use the bathroom afterwards? Because I’ve been told not to give my puppy (5 months old) food or water in his crate for that reason. Thanks!
Susana Bolin
24.09.2022Thank you,I just bought 89 dollars worth of toy's, he has destroyed most of them already, and the Kong is the only one he's not into right now.
My friend Carl and I have an agreement, if anything happens to him,I will take care of his dog.
Carl's gone to the hospital, I'm so worried, and I can't keep buying hundreds of toy's for this goofball!
His main toy is a 25 pound bowling ball,it's tough to find thing's to keep him active ,and not bankrupt me.
I'm going to try the frozen food,I will never, ever,ever put peanut butter into another Kong toy! 💀

22.09.2022I'm glad I watched this. We have a 10 week old puppy beagle and he's in a biting stage. I'm hoping this keeps the biting down to a minimum.
Alexis Morales
22.09.2022Whats the point of soaking the dog food and freezing it compared to just adding dog food? Thanks for the video

22.09.2022Skippy peanut butter is good for the dog?
Jacob Mohr
22.09.2022I'm going to have to try this I have always used the kong with the kong treat bones.
J Raglob
22.09.2022Thanks, years ago we bought a Kong for our first puppy, with no idea what it was for other than a chew toy (before YouTube) this looks like a great idea for our new puppy.
Jason Babcock
22.09.2022Great information! Unfortunately it is very difficult to understand what your saying with all the music in the background. Listen on headphones and you will know what I’m saying.

22.09.2022The 1996 to 2008 Kong rubber toys were much stronger than the current ones.

21.09.2022Here a med Kong is $20+taxes. Buy 4? 🤣 I wonder how much they cost where you live. BTW..you said solves 90% of behavior problems. Is there another vid that covers them? This vid only mentioned a couple.

21.09.2022Thanks for this informative video. need to train my dog to be alone when I go to work. Hope it will work considering that my dog is now 1 and a half year and been with me every day no matter where I've gone. so hopefully its not to late 🙂

Hi There
20.09.2022Can I go to free food after my puppy is older and more trained?
Chris Peters

20.09.2022I have a red Kong wobbler. I noticed that when my puppy lays on the wobbler she plugs up the hole with her tongue and mouth. So I drilled a hole with a step drill on the opposite side & slightly off center of the hole it comes with. So when my puppy is on the wobbler trying for treats one side bits of treats fall out the opposite side 🤪 She's a blue heeler btw
Linn Kirksaether
20.09.2022What if you're dog isn't food-driven? I use a Kong on my Alaskan Husky boy, but unless it's his absolute favorite treats he doesn't care, and by favorite I mean liver paste, salami or sausage… I have tried mixes of his own food & what he likes, but only gets minor interest… I can't freeze it either, as it takes too much time and he just gives up. Don't get me wrong, it still works to some degree, but not enough to remedy any issues of his, just enough to give me peace of mind for a while.

20.09.2022If it’s a behavioral problem don’t waste your money on it
Dane Fuentes
20.09.2022Thanks for the videos. It seems counter productive to ask people to subscribe in the beginning of a video tho. I don't even know if I like your channel but you're already asking for stuff? just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's just me tho.

20.09.2022My dog is a 6 yr old Lhasa apso. Will it work for her as she doesn’t play with toys now she used to do earlier. Please suggest if anything else works in mental stimulation and engages the dog.

20.09.2022Rachel Fusaro warns that one of her dogs got his lower jaw stuck in the toy. Have you had that problem?
Milou Nicolaes
18.09.2022Hi! So glad I came across this channel! I'm just a bit confused on how to portion the Kongs. For ex, my puppy gets 1 cup/day. So I would put 1/3 of a cup aside for training and then split the other 2/3rds into 2 separate kongs and freeze them? Bc I feed her 2 times/day. Thanks!

18.09.2022some other ways I've used a Kong…? wellll you know that kong that looks like a looong rope with the balls on the ends… yyyyeaah… 🙈😂
Gaylene Emmons
18.09.2022Will this help a 10 week old puppy from shredding his pee pads? I can't get him to stop. I've tried redirecting him to toys and chews but he goes right back to destroying the pee pad. It seems it may have become a game to him. Argh. Will the food filled kong occupy him long enough and be interesting enough to stop his annihilation of the pee pads?

18.09.2022The biggest issue with this is, my dog does not like frozen or cold food and water 🙁
austin hoover
18.09.2022Amen to this. I can’t count how many dogs behaviors I’ve fixed or reduced by this tactic. People always hate hearing it or don’t want to but it’s true.
