We use the Busy Buddy Twist and Treat: http://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-Buddy-Twist-Treat-Medium/dp/B0002I0RMG/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_11?ie=UTF8&refRID=0NM72T2WZZ50ETS0R00Y
It twists apart for you to put the kibble in, then twist it back together either all the way (for the hardest challenge) or a little less to make it easier. It takes him about 15 minutes to get all the food out, by pushing it around, lifting and dropping, and standing it on its end with his nose. It's still pretty solid when he drops it, but more rubbery than the Kong Wobbler.
My husband and I took his family dogs (mini schnauzers) who had been trained out of playing with toys because they couldn't distinguish between their own toys and the grandkids' toys. One of them was never really into toys, but one of them had loved them previously so we bought her toys that she played with "in secret" (she would pop up in the front window with a toy in her mouth when we were coming home or leaving the house). You can try leaving the toys around and seeing if they move?
Both of these dogs LOVED puzzle toys with treats. Brody (who was never into playing with toys or balls) loses her mind for a kong toy or a food ball or a sliding puzzle toy. Most of these we fill with a mixture of regular kibble and treats as a way to combine meal time and play time.
Here are some house favorites:

We used a trainer but pet smart is a great option! We chose group classes since it teaches socialization and that's where you will get bite inhibition. It will be frustrating at first bc puppy won't listen to you but stick with it!
We use several treat dispensing toys and as for the Kong I will actually soak her food in water for a bit until it absorbs some and then freeze it because she is having stomach issue so we aren't using treats. She really has to work at it to get it out. Here are some of the toys we use:
