What about some nice kong
recipes
Kong Dog Toys are widely used
and recommended for therapy and prevention of under-stimulation, boredom,
separation anxiety and other behavior problems. Following are some simple ways
Kongs can be utilized to promote good behavior in your dog.
It is important for dogs to succeed at their "work". Make it easy to remove the
kong stuffing at first.
AS THEY BECOME MORE
EXPERIENCED, YOU MAY WANT TO MAKE THEIR JOB MORE CHALLENGING - HERE'S HOW:
1. Pack stuffing tighter.
2. Wedge biscuits inside the cavity
using the inside rim of the opening to secure them.
3. FREEZE IT! Very Popular! Try
various combinations of canned food, gravy, noodles, rice and mashed potatoes
mixed with food nuggets and freeze. KONGSICLES are a favorite with many hot dogs!
Put a dab of peanut butter in the small end of the Kong to plug it. Turn it
upside down in a cup. Fill it full of water, chicken broth or fruit juice and
freeze. Cool doggies! Kongsicles are recommended for outdoor use.
4. CHEESE IT! Mix cheese pieces or
cheese spread with food nuggets and microwave until cheese melts. Let it cool to
a safe temperature. NOTE - Use a cup to contain the Kong when freezing or
microwaving.

FAMOUS RECIPES
- AUNT JEANNIE'S ARCHEOLOGY KONG
(for advanced dogs) LAYER ONE (deepest): roasted, unsalted cashews · freeze
dried liver bits LAYER TWO: dog kibble, cookies or liver biscotti · Cheerios ·
sugar-free, salt-free peanut butter · dried banana chips, apples and apricots
LAYER THREE: carrot sticks ·
turkey or leftover ravioli or tortellini · Kong Toy (the larger the
better!) Pack as tightly as possible. The last item inserted should be an
apricot or piece of ravioli, presenting a smooth "finish" under the main opening.

freeze-dried liver, fat free cream cheese for peanut butter.

- KONG ON A ROPE:
Dry dog kibble · appropriate Kong Toy · Rope Take
the rope, pull it through the Kong Toy and knot it. Hang this upside down from a
tree, deck or post. The small hole should be facing the ground. Take the kibble
and fill the Kong Toy. Make the toy hang just low enough that it is out of your
dog's reach. The dog will spend hours trying to retrieve the
kibble from the Kong Toy. At the end of the day, take the remaining kibble and
give to your pet as a reward. This is advanced work for your dog. - by
