Are the doggie and you training to search for Kong? Have you sworn and sighed and sweated when you tried to break a Kong to get reasonably large pieces? Relax, now there is a much simpler way. Buy a bag with pieces of the red Kong classic.
Your dog has a great nose and it can find pretty much everything you teach it to look for. Apart from being an easy way to activate the dog, it's fun too. Nose job stimulates the dog because it is a natural way for the dog to work and which also strengthens the dog's self-confidence.
Kong search is a form of training that is suitable for all dogs, regardless of body shape and age. Special search training is also suitable for the doggie who has physical problems, which means that it can not be as active. It is also an activation method that can be soothing for people who are stressed.
Hide a whole Kong or a small piece of Kong and let your dog find it. And believe us - your doggie will make it. Once the dog has learned what to look for, you can choose to use smaller pieces or hide in more difficult places, perhaps below ground level or higher up in the air. Forget in different environments and on different types of surfaces. Only the imagination sets the limit for where your dog can search for kong.
ABOUT SPECIAL SEARCH
Just recently, the Swedish Working Dog Club (Svenska brukshundklubben) launched Special Search as an official dog sport. Specialsök, as it's called in Swedish, is a collective name for jobs where the dog must both search for and mark different scents, it can be anything from bed bugs, truffles and eucalyptus to drugs, people and mold. But in the competition special search at SBK, Kong is therefore used.
The idea behind using the red king in particular is that it has already been the most common subject in training in service dog operations and with the armed forces. And Kong classic is also used internationally for special searches.
As Specialsök kong is an official test form, it is possible to qualify the dog in the sport. But even if you're not looking for the doggie to get titles and just want a fun activation moment, then Kong hunting might be for you.
