As for the kong, we bought him one and he really doesn't like it too much. One of the dog trainers at Petco said to fill it with a mixture of peanut butter and rice, freeze it for about an hour then give it to him. He said Faro would love it then. What do you all think? Is there a better filling that I should use. I would like for him to use it since so many people on the forums swear by them.
It took me a while to get Cody interested. I tried the peanut butter filling made for kongs (nope), plain peanut butter (nope), just stuffing it with his favorite treats (that got him interested, but he got them out too quickly), liver paste filling for kongs (which he loved), and satin balls (looooved!). Now I do a mixture of the liver paste and meatballs, which he goes bananas over, and that keeps him occupied for a while. So you may have to try a few different things to find out what he likes.
