Crate training, potty training, barking, chewing, and even anxiety can all be addressed by teaching your dog to love their stuffed Kongs. Embracing simplicity, our approach isn’t just about Kong recipes, but focuses on teaching the dog to love the Kong so that it becomes an automatic training tool. Kong stuffing can be super easy, for puppies and adult dogs.

This is a force free way to teach a dog to take food gently rather than snap. Slowly present the food until your dogs ears push back (airplane ears) then release the food. If your dog snaps for the food, move your hand away. Repeat 5-15 times in sequence.

This shows the two foundational steps to building the "Give" behaviour on cue. Use high value food reward and something of lower value in the KONG or begin with a lower value chew.

Use the mark word "Yessss!" if you don't have a clicker.

This is foundational to having your dog follow you hand. If your dog does not touch the target, then take the target away and re position.

Used for impulse control or to promote settling/relaxation. Do 1-2 daily for relaxation or mini-sessions as needed after emotionally arousing events.

This is only to be used on advice and you must take it slow so as to add value to the equipment over time, rather than generate an aversion.
