KO'ING toys you'vie all seen them you'vie , all probably got one today'm going to , show you how to stuff it fast easy and , so it works , in here with simpatico dog training and , before we start stuffing Kong's , please make sure you're subscribed to , see never miss any of our videos and , don'forget to check the description , below for notes links and resources , about the stuff we talk about now a Kong , toy can Beau great tool to keep your dog , busy and to help you teach your dog , important skills both all the recipes on , Interested the blasphemed can be , kind of a pa into figure out what works , and even after all that effort your dog , might just be like Matt Loki'm a big , advocate of the KISS principle or keep , it simple stupid there's no need to over , complicate things an din my opinion most , of the product sand recipes out there , complicate a very simple idea another , big concept you're going to hear several , times is that it's not what it is , it's what you'vie trained it to be if , your dog USN't into it we don't give up , and move on to the next gimmick we train , them to be into it we train them to love , it you ready to do that let'dive in , selecting Kong toys is as easy as , heading down tithe pet supply store and , picking some out there are some details , to keep in mind though for one thing , Kong toys don't hold as much as you , think they do my rule of thumb is to , pickup the one that looks right and , then buy the next size up additionally , I'vie seen dogs give up out of , frustration if they can't get it easily , enough one size up will make for a , bigger hole and at least in my , experience seem to help the dog buy into , it alto more readily that leads us to , the second point don't buy Justine get , four at the minimum that way you have , them on reserve so you can fill use wash , and rotate otherwise if you're not , paying attention you'll get caught , without one ready when you need it the , red classic Kong'Sabre pretty standard , the black ones are the toughest for , super tours , all the other colors are about the same , as the red ones as far as toughness goes , also there are several types of toys , like it the classic Kong USN'the only , one out there the pet safe squirrel dude , is also very good the Kong biscuit ball , can be used with a raw diet the Premier , busy buddy football works well for , treats or IQ , and you can use this for short settle , down , although undoubtedly the classic Kong is , the best made and the most durable and , probably the most readily available , forget about buying any of that stuff , marketed in the pet stores to stuff a , comm it's overpriced and it's basically , just junk food just like the human , version seriously is that stuff even , food second like I said there are tons , of recipes out therefor all sorts of , creative ways to calm these are a much , better alternative for sure however if , your time consuming and also largely , unnecessary if you enjoy doing it and , you have the time for it great knock , yourself out however don't get into , those bigger recipes unless you enjoy , doing it as a special treat on occasions , they're great but do not fall into the , trap of trying to up the ante or , increasing the value of the stuffing in , the toy to try and get the dog , interested , you're coming added backwards it's not , what Otis it's what you'vie trained it , to be so train the dog to love their , Kong and then you can stuff it with , whatever you want with this in mind , you'll save money and time and you'll , train your dog better if it's filled , with a more commonplace ingredient their , own dog food since we're going to be , using our dog's food we need to measure , it out as a responsible owner you should , be monitoring their daily intake of food , by having a routine but flexible feeding , schedule and never free feeding free , feeding is just shooting yourself in the , foot as far as behavioral teaching goes , don't be lazy by simply using routine , feedings you're also starting to empower , their normal food to be a training , reward which is a much better more , nutritionally balanced option than only , using treats this plays into strategic , reward scaling and'll link to my , article on that in the description so , measure out your dog'seafood for the day , set out about third of it aside , moisten the rest and spoon it into the , toys then freeze it that leftover third , is used for training anyone in the , family can take food out for training , with this , if you plan ahead and prepare three or , four toys At tumbling on-demand , as you need them just be sure to keep up , on the rotation you don't want to be , caught without any toys in the freezer , and a hungry dog when we first start , chew toy training our dogs they simply , take their meals from the to ya bowl is , nice and convenient but in these stages , it's a waste of opportunity save the , bowl for down the road after we'vie got , them hooked on their tongue when you , take a loaded tongue out of the freezer , place a dollop of something easy and , tasty to start with over the big hole , just smear some peanut butter some plain , yogurt or some cream cheese over it now , they take their Kong meal sin a crate or , on a bed same place every time routines , are the backbone of training as the dog , works at it the Kong Falls fairly , quickly and food starts to fall out the , more they work the more food they get , this is a self rewarding activity it's , called Otto shaping because your dog's , practically draining himself at this , point all you did was engineer it to , work and set it up right from the get-go , this is conditioning the dog to love , being by itself chewing and eating at , the same time releases a payload of , endorphins into their brain like a huge , pleasure bomb as we progress as your , puppy gets older or your adult dog picks , up the skill we can go back to using the , bowl and keep the food filled Kong as , the ace up your sleeve , job number one is that it helps teach a , dog to be alone this one thing then , solves a bunch of other problems like , boredom which always leads to mischief , barking incessantly while you're away , your neighbors will definitely , appreciate this destructive chewing such , as your table legs and futon cushions , raiding the trash and bigger problems , like isolation distress which is , commonly mistaken for separation anxiety , and of course true separation anxiety , which can be debilitating for a dog , training with an interactive toy like a , Kong will also help you with settling , down after being jazzed up or crate , training and potty training for both , puppies and newly adopted adult dogs , attaching an anchor to a Kong gives you , more options feed a string or rope , through the small hole knot it and pull , it tight now when you fill it it will be , frozen in place once the toy and the , normal food is empowered it can be tied , to the inside of crates for crate , training it can be tied to trees in the , yard for summer fun lots of , possibilities open up once you got your , dog home calm stuffing the Kong won't do , all of these things by itself you do , need some regular chew toys and you do , need to interact with your dog in other , constructive ways properly stuffed Kong , though will act as a force multiplier , and help you get the job done much much , faster , coupled with the chew toy training we , talked about in the types of toys video , you solve about% of the most common , behavior problems so good luck guy sand , keep in touch what are some other ways , you use the Kong and what kind of , questions do you have about it let's , connect in the comments don'forget to , check that description for note slinks , and resource sand thumbs up this video , if you got some good info as always keep , learning keep practicing and I will see , you soon
