Gus loves his Kong, with or without a treat inside. Part of the attraction can be a treat - and I think to keep their interest it needs to be something with a great aroma - but part of it is the crazy way they bounce when you throw them. They don't just bounce straight; they kind of go all over the place because of the shape. When I toss it and it bounces off of the furniture and walls, Gus is like a cat chasing a string.
Usually I put something inside it that has a strong but delicious aroma, like a piece of meat. He wants it badly enough that he'll work at it for as long as it takes to get it out. |
