How to Use a Kong the Right Way (And Why It Matters):
Everyone knows I love Kong’s. They’re one of the simplest, most effective tools you can use to keep dogs busy, mentally engaged, and out of trouble.
That said, a lot of people get confused about how to use them correctly — what to put in them, how full to make them, and how challenging they should actually be.
I came across a video on social media that does a great job breaking this down, and I had to share it.
🐾 Why Kongs Work (When Used Correctly)
A properly used Kong:
- provides mental stimulation
- helps reduce boredom
- encourages calm, focused behavior
- gives dogs an appropriate outlet for chewing
But when they’re stuffed the wrong way — too easy, too hard, or not thought through — they lose a lot of their value.
This video walks through the logic behind stuffing Kongs the right way, instead of just tossing treats in and hoping for the best.
🐾 Worth Watching
If you use Kongs regularly (or want to), this is absolutely worth a few minutes of your time.
Unbelievable video:

Simple idea. Solid explanation. Very practical.
