My puppy is 9 weeks old now and I gave him a small kong with just a little bit of salmon paste spread lightly round the top of the kong for him. He loved it. It was nice and easy for him to get to. I now put a little mashed up banana in it with a little of the salmon paste round the top.
He is getting the idea Smile but then I do have two kong addicts in the house for him to watch Wink Wink

Keep persevering, but as the others have said make it easy for him and don't freeze them just yet. Laughing Laughing

Oh and hello and welcome to you and your pup. Smile

Fish Naturediet was the thing that got Leo started but as other people have said make it easy at first, just pop a little inside the rim that he can lick out easily..

Thanks guys for all the suggestions! Oddly it turns out the killer formula is his own doggy biscuits. He nosed his kong all round the floor getting them to come out yesterday. I also froze one over night last night, which was quite a hit; he has licked all the kong paste out the top so far before getting distracted Wink
