You can freeze the Kong for an hour or two so that the peanut butter becomes solid and more challenging for your pup to get out - it's fine if he eats the contents of the Kong (the peanut butter, or other treats), that's what we want him to do :) Besides peanut butter, there are lots of other things you can put in the Kong - many people like to use canned puppy food, spray cheese, or even mashed potatoes. The website www.kongstuffing.com has lots of different suggestions for things you can put in the Kong, including a page of recipes specifically for puppies.

    Pack Korbyn's kong with peanut butter or the special stuffing that they make for Kongs. Put it in the freezer for a few hours to make it last longer. The bigger cone shaped Kongs can hold treats and kibble which can be sealed in with peanut butter. Your boy should enjoy this new toy!
