Dog Trick - Teach Put Toys Away

Rounder, a Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue, learns how to put his toys away. I don't usually do "how to" videos, but I've had a few requests for this one, so here it is . You can see Rounder's enthusiasm for clicker games. He makes me smile. :-) If your dog already knows how to retrieve toys, I recommend back chaining this. Start with releasing the toy to your hand. Then, put the basket under your hand. Slowly fade your hand and then slowly move the basket away. If your dog doesn't know this, give it a try and post a video response. I hope your dog has as much fun learning this as Rounder did. :-)

I taught this to my dog, but now he only puts one toy into the basket - the toy he learnt the trick with. How do I teach him to pick up the other toys as well? If I have a pile of dog toys, he will search for that particular toy and only put that one into the basket.

@3171 Thank you for watching our video. That is a great example of how well a dog can discriminate. :-) You can start again teaching it with another toy. It should go faster with the second toy. Then, reintroduce the first toy (so there are 2 toys out). After she picks up the first one, cue her to pick up the second. Repeat the process with more toys. Sometimes still CT after putting away 1 toy, so it's not always getting harder. With practice you can increase the number of toys for one CT.

I dont have a clicker and never have had one before and never used one on my pomeranian we just use treats and hugs and pets. She knows 7 tricks from sit shake laydown to jump hoop and spin around and roll over etc and i just want this trick (put toys away) because she has tones of toys and gets them all out at one time lol What can i use instead of a clicker? Thanks! -Stephanie

@ya11and11what Congratulations on training all those tricks. :-) You can just use a word - like saying "yep" or "yes." Happy training!

Great video. I have only started to teach our 9 month old mini schnauzer to do tricks. So far she will sit, and lie down. Right now we are working on having her put a toy in the bucket. It's taking a bit for her to learn but she will get it. Toys lying around is part of having dogs, so it doesn't bother us.

I am teaching this to my dog too and she is doing very well:) i feel like when i tell her to clean up though she is bringing the toy to me and not the basket. i give her a treat when she is putting it in the basket but she is not relizing she is putting it in the basket. I try to show her she is but she is not catching on. How can i better train her to put it in the basket and know she is putting it in the basket?
