How to Choose the Right Dog Training Products
The best training products depend on your dog's age, breed, activity level, chewing style and training goals. Many owners use a combination of food rewards, enrichment toys and interactive games to create enjoyable, reward-based training sessions.
Choose Small Rewards for Frequent Training
Small treats are ideal for repeated rewards during obedience training, recall practice and puppy classes. Reward your dog immediately after the desired behaviour and gradually reduce treats as behaviours become reliable.
Browse the Blackdog Training Treats collection for convenient reward-sized options.
Use Food-Enrichment Toys
Food-dispensing toys encourage dogs to work for their rewards while providing additional mental stimulation. They can be incorporated into supervised quiet time, crate training and independent enrichment activities.
Our KONG Dog Toys Australia collection includes stuffable and interactive options for puppies and adult dogs.
Select Interactive Fetch Toys
Interactive games help strengthen the relationship between dogs and their owners while providing valuable exercise. Toys designed specifically for retrieving encourage movement and engagement during training sessions.
Our KONG AirDog Dog Toys Australia collection is popular for supervised fetch games, while the KONG AirDog Balls Australia collection offers squeaker balls suitable for regular retrieve sessions.
One popular option is the KONG AirDog Squeaker Balls Medium 6 Pack, making it easy to rotate toys and keep fetch sessions interesting.
Choose Age-Appropriate Puppy Toys
Puppies have different chewing needs from adult dogs. Select toys designed for your puppy's current stage of development and regularly check that the size remains appropriate as they grow.
Browse our KONG Puppy Toys Australia collection for products designed specifically for developing teeth and gums.
Select Suitable Toys for Strong Adult Dogs
Dogs with stronger jaws often require firmer toys that match their chewing style. While no dog toy is indestructible, choosing products appropriate for your dog's size and regularly inspecting them can help improve safety.
Owners of larger breeds can browse our KONG for Large & Extra Large Dogs collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What products are best for dog training?
Many owners combine small training treats, interactive toys and food-enrichment products to reinforce positive behaviour. The right combination depends on your dog's age, motivation and training goals.
Why are enrichment toys recommended?
Enrichment toys provide mental stimulation and encourage problem-solving while complementing regular exercise, training and social interaction.

Adult dogs can browse our complete KONG Dog Toys Australia collection for toys matched to their size, age and chewing style.
Are KONG AirDog toys suitable for heavy chewers?
KONG AirDog toys are designed primarily for interactive games of fetch. Dogs that are strong or persistent chewers should always be supervised and may require products designed specifically for tougher chewing.

Replace toys that become cracked, torn, split or begin losing pieces. Regular inspection helps keep play sessions safe.

Are enrichment toys a replacement for exercise?
No. Enrichment toys can complement exercise, training, play and social interaction, but they should not replace suitable physical activity or time spent engaging with your dog.
