Dog Trick – Teach Put Toys Away
by admin on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | 25 Comments
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.

Thank you for …
Let me know how you make out. I’d love to see your video (post it as a response). Have fun and happy clicking.
Thank you for watching. It really varies by dog and how much time you spend on it and what their skills were when you started. Chase learned it super fast, Rounder took longer (I didn’t work it that often because Chase already knew how). For me, the fun was in the training/learning of the behavior.
Wonderful video..I …

Thanks. He cracks me up, too. He offers new behaviors (or variations on old ones) all the time. It makes him really fun to train. He rang the bell to go out the other day. Apparently my husband didn’t get up fast enough. Rounder picked up a stuffed toy and threw it at him.

I have long wondered about whether or not to use clicker training on my RR. Now there is no shadow of a doubt. I´ll get on it tomorrow. I loved the instructional bit, and Rounder is adorable.
