Since we're moving, I thought it would be fun to teach Toby to "help" us pack by getting him to pick random stuff up and put them in a box. Toby has a FB page so I thought this would be especially fun for his followers to watch too and would make up for the lack of posts we're doing right now.
How did you teach your dog/s to put things in boxes or bowls??
I watched a kikopup video about it, and it seems simple enough in principle, but Toby just looks SO BORED doing this trick so I wondered if there was a way to teach it that made it more exciting?
He'll 'hold it' but he won't move from his position with the object in his mouth, and as soon as he hears the clicker for holding it, he drops the object because he's just not interested in the trick any more. He'll also only hold a plastic wrench that we have and I'd like to get him putting maybe books or CD cases in a box among other items.
