The Kong Wobbler – a popular dog toy. But is it actually suitable for dogs that aren’t a ‘happy go lucky’ pup but more on the anxious side. Let’s find out.
In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the Kong Wobbler and how it can benefit your dog’s enrichment routine. As a dog trainer and rescue dog mom, I know how important it is to find safe and effective toys for all types of dogs, including those who may be new to toys or sensitive to loud noises.

What’s the KONG Wobbler™?
Meet the KONG Wobbler™—more than just a dog toy, it’s an interactive, mentally stimulating food dispenser for your dog. This KONG-shaped toy sits patiently until nudged, dispensing tasty rewards through wobbling, spinning, and rolling motions. The unpredictable moves keep your dog intrigued, engaging their natural instincts to play and forage for food. Simply fill the toy with your dog’s favourite treats or kibble, and let them have a go at it! The wobbling motion of the toy adds an extra level of challenge and excitement for your dog.
Use it as a mealtime twist, making your dog work for their food and extending the joy of eating or for weight management, the Wobbler keeps dogs active while they work for their food. It’s a great option for dogs needing a bit more movement in their routine.
Unscrews effortlessly (see video) for easy filling and cleaning, dishwasher-safe, and made in the USA. Available in two sizes for every furry friend’s delight. Choose from small or large sizes for a tailored experience. For medium to large-sized dogs the Kong in large is recommended.
It’s important to note that the loud noise the toy makes when it falls over may startle some dogs, especially those who are new to toys or sensitive to noise. As a responsible pet owner, it’s important to introduce the toy slowly and in a controlled environment, and monitor your dog’s reaction closely.

Have you tried the Kong Wobbler yet? How did you and your dog like it? As all of my dogs are rescue dogs – and I mainly work with Rescue Dogs, so for me this was an important criteria in this review, whether this dog toy is safe to use for anxious dogs who are not used to toys like this.
That’s why I also added some bits on why you might want to be a bit careful with this toy if you have a dog who is new to dog toys (like Street Dogs) and / or are sensitive to loud noises.
