I've never used a kong, and I've lived with dogs for 58 years, my own dogs for 39 years. None of them ever cared for kongs as toys, and I'm not a big fan of keeping dogs occupied with food.
Is there a reason you want Jake to be interested in a food filled kong? Is it to occupy him while he's crated?
Neither of my doodles like kongs period - filled or not. If you are looking for something to pacify his need to chew, you might choose a Bully Stick. I bought my bully sticks through Bestbullysticks.com Now that they are older, they no longer chew on bully sticks. Charlie is not a chewer and Beau likes an occasional antler. Jake is a cutie.
Annabelle wasn't all that big on kongs either. When she was teething I would stuff it with plain low fat yogurt and blueberries and then freeze it. She seemed to like that. It can get messy so the kitchen or crate is the best place for that.
Sherlock and Watson both love peanut butter in a Kong... and that is the only thing that will inspire them to play with a one.
We probably have every West Paw toy they make. We have all 3 colors of the frisbee. They are the best. Annabelle is 15lbs and she gets the small sizes.
We have filled Kongs and bones with peanut butter that we freeze. They don't much like the Kongs. The best thing we find that keeps the dogs busy is to fill the StarMark treat dispensing Chewball with their kibble. They roll it around with their nose to make the treats fall out.We also have used the Everlasting Treat Ball but you have to use the company's treat which might be a problem for some dogs. We have also given our dogs antlers to gnaw on - they last a long time. Ned cracked a tooth on one, so we are cautious about using them.
