What Makes KONG AirDog Different From Ordinary Tennis Balls?
Ordinary tennis balls are manufactured for sporting use rather than for dogs. Their outer covering may be more abrasive when repeatedly carried, mouthed or chewed.
KONG AirDog toys use a specialised non-abrasive felt covering designed for canine play. This provides the familiar texture and bounce dogs enjoy while making AirDog toys a more appropriate option for supervised fetch.
Many AirDog products also contain an internal squeaker that helps maintain interest during retrieving and interactive games.
AirDog toys are intended primarily for fetch rather than prolonged chewing. Dogs that quickly tear felt, puncture tennis-style balls or expose squeakers should be redirected to a more durable rubber toy from the wider KONG Dog Toys Australia range.
Choosing the Right KONG AirDog Toy
The best KONG AirDog toy for your dog depends on their mouth size, age, activity level and preferred style of play.
The toy should be large enough that it cannot be swallowed or become lodged in your dog’s mouth. Check the individual product information and reassess the size as puppies grow.
KONG AirDog Toys for Small Dogs
Small AirDog balls and smaller multipacks may suit small breeds and dogs with smaller mouths. Even a small toy must remain large enough that the dog cannot swallow it.
Small dogs that enjoy a softer style of play may also benefit from rotating AirDog fetch toys with products from our KONG Floofs Plush Dog Toys Australia collection.
KONG AirDog Toys for Medium Dogs
Medium AirDog balls are a popular choice for regular backyard and park fetch sessions with many adult dogs.
The KONG AirDog Squeaker Balls Medium 6 Pack is a convenient option for active dogs, frequent fetch games, multi-dog homes and replacing balls that become lost during outdoor play.
KONG AirDog Toys for Large Dogs
Large dogs should be given appropriately sized toys that cannot be swallowed or become lodged in the mouth. Larger balls, footballs and dumbbells may provide a safer and easier-to-carry option for bigger breeds.
Browse our KONG Toys for Large & Extra Large Dogs collection for more products selected for bigger dogs and stronger play styles.
KONG AirDog Toys for Puppies
Many puppies can enjoy appropriately sized AirDog toys during supervised fetch. These toys can help introduce chasing, retrieving and returning an object.
Teething puppies may attempt to chew through the felt or rubber, so AirDog toys should be removed once the fetch session has finished.
For puppy-specific rubber toys designed for developing teeth and gums, browse our KONG Puppy Toys Australia collection.
KONG AirDog Toys for Multi-Dog Homes
Multipacks provide several balls for shared play, toy rotation and repeated outdoor exercise. Dogs should still be supervised, especially where there is competition, guarding or conflict over toys.
KONG AirDog Squeaker Balls Medium 6 Pack
The KONG AirDog Squeaker Balls Medium 6 Pack is one of the most practical choices in the AirDog range for dogs that regularly play fetch.
Benefits of choosing a multipack include:
- Several balls for repeated fetch sessions
- Spare balls when one becomes lost
- Convenient toy rotation
- Good value for active dogs
- Useful for multi-dog households
- Easy replacement when a ball becomes worn
Owners wanting several KONG products in one purchase can also explore our KONG Bundles Australia collection.
Benefits of Interactive Fetch Play
Interactive fetch gives dogs an opportunity to exercise, focus and engage with their owners through a structured game.
Regular fetch play may help:
- Provide physical exercise
- Burn excess energy
- Support mental stimulation
- Encourage retrieving behaviour
- Strengthen the bond between dogs and owners
- Create reward-based training opportunities
- Add variety to daily enrichment routines
The length and intensity of each session should suit your dog’s age, health, fitness and the weather conditions.
Using KONG AirDog Toys for Training
KONG AirDog toys can be incorporated into positive, reward-based training for dogs that are highly motivated by balls, movement and interactive play.
A short fetch game may be offered after a dog completes a cue such as sit, stay, come, drop or give. This can add variety for dogs that respond more enthusiastically to toy rewards than food rewards.
AirDog toys may be useful for:
- Teaching a dog to retrieve
- Practising recall
- Teaching “drop” or “give”
- Rewarding focus and engagement
- Adding movement to obedience sessions
- Supporting controlled play between exercises
Browse our Dog Training & Behaviour collection for additional training products and behaviour-support essentials.
Teaching a Dog to Fetch With an AirDog Toy
- Begin in a quiet, enclosed area with minimal distractions.
- Allow your dog to investigate the toy before throwing it.
- Use a short, gentle throw rather than launching it a long distance.
- Encourage your dog to return using a consistent verbal cue.
- Reward the return with praise, another throw or a suitable treat.
- Teach “drop” or “give” without chasing the dog for the toy.
- Finish the session while your dog is still interested.
Keep early sessions short and positive. Gradually increase distance and distractions as your dog becomes more reliable.
KONG AirDog Toys for Backyard and Park Play
KONG AirDog toys are well suited to supervised backyard and park play where there is enough safe space for running and retrieving.
Before beginning a fetch session, check the area for:
- Nearby roads or moving vehicles
- Open gates or damaged fencing
- Holes, steep slopes or uneven ground
- Livestock or wildlife
- Deep or fast-moving water
- Other dogs that may guard toys
- People using the same area
Avoid throwing toys towards roads, livestock, crowded spaces, steep slopes or unsafe water.
Playing Fetch During Warm Australian Weather
Active dogs can overheat during energetic fetch sessions, particularly on warm or humid days.
During hotter weather:
- Play during the cooler morning or evening
- Use shorter sessions
- Provide regular rest breaks
- Keep fresh drinking water available
- Avoid hot surfaces
- Stop if your dog appears tired or distressed
Puppies, older dogs, flat-faced breeds and dogs with health conditions may require shorter and less intense play sessions.
Creating a Varied KONG Play Routine
Dogs may stay more engaged when different toy styles are rotated for different activities.
Rotating toys can help maintain interest while giving owners time to inspect, clean and replace heavily used products.
How to Use KONG AirDog Toys Safely
- Choose a toy that is appropriately sized for your dog’s mouth.
- Supervise fetch and interactive play.
- Do not allow prolonged chewing of tennis-style felt.
- Inspect the toy before and after each play session.
- Remove toys with damaged felt, splits or loose pieces.
- Do not allow dogs to swallow felt, rubber or squeaker material.
- Avoid throwing toys into traffic, deep water or other unsafe areas.
- Use separate toys or controlled play where dogs compete over balls.
- Store the toy away when the fetch session has finished.
No dog toy is indestructible. Dogs that are powerful or destructive chewers may need a durable rubber option from the KONG Dog Toys Australia collection instead of a tennis-style fetch toy.
Are KONG AirDog Toys Suitable for Puppies?
Many puppies can enjoy KONG AirDog toys when the correct size is selected and play is closely supervised.
AirDog toys can help puppies practise chasing, retrieving and returning an object. However, teething puppies may try to chew through the felt or outer material, so the toy should be removed after the game.
For puppy-specific chewing, treat filling and teething products, visit the KONG Puppy Toys Australia collection.
Are KONG AirDog Toys Suitable for Aggressive Chewers?
KONG AirDog toys are designed primarily for interactive fetch rather than prolonged or unsupervised chewing.
Dogs that destroy ordinary tennis balls, pull away felt or puncture toys quickly should be closely supervised and may require a more durable rubber KONG.
Owners of bigger breeds can explore our KONG Toys for Large & Extra Large Dogs collection for appropriately sized options.

How to Clean KONG AirDog Toys
Remove surface dirt after outdoor play and allow the toy to dry completely before storing it.
Follow the care instructions provided with the individual product. Avoid continued use if the felt begins separating, the rubber splits or the squeaker becomes exposed.
Regular cleaning and inspection are particularly important when several dogs share the same toys.
