How to start: Show the KONG to your dog. Present it in 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 delicious treats inside. Give the toy to your pet.

Remember: KONG Classic is designed with safety in mind, but no dog toy is indestructible. Supervise your dog while playing 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 a better choice. For a destructive dog, choose KONG Extreme made of very hard rubber.
