How to start: Show your dog the KONG. Present it with an excited voice. Do not give the toy to the dog immediately - let it be a hard-to-get reward for a while. Encourage and draw your dog's attention to the tasty treats inside. Hand the toy to your pet.
How to clean KONG: It’s simple: all KONG rubber toys can be washed in the dishwasher, on the top rack. Any dried remnants of treats inside the toy can be easily removed with a bottle brush if soaked beforehand. You can use dish soap. Remember: KONG Classic is designed with safety in mind, but no dog toy is indestructible. Watch how your dog plays with the toy until you are sure you can leave your pet alone with KONG. Regularly bend and check the toy for cracks. Discard worn and damaged KONGs immediately.
Tip: For a puppy, the KONG Puppy is better. For a destructive dog, choose the KONG Extreme made of very tough rubber.
