Rat Terrier Does Laundry

Video taken with a cell phone, my appologies in advance for the poor resolution!

Petey is a 6 year old Rat Terrier. He is a rescue dog taken from an abusive, neglectful home. He's a sassy, confident terrier now that LOVES to get into trouble! To channel his energy and prevent problems, we work on tricks. Teaching him laundry was just a random trick we worked on a few months ago.

I definately won't guarantee that it's clean, but he can empty the washer now! :)

Now that's what I call a well-trained rattie! How'd you do that? LOL I've got one of mine to go get each toy by name, never getting the wrong one. But the laundry routine, now that's pretty impressive!

He's pretty good about grabbing whatever you tell him to and retrieving. It didn't take too long to teach him to retrieve from the washer and drop on the dryer lid. Sometimes, when he's in the mood of course, he'll jump on the lid and drop it inside. Petey's very food motivated so lots of treats certainly help. :) Thanks for looking and making a comment!

Don't you just love how easy ratties are to train? They just want to please!
