1. Show Your Dog How to Put Away Its Toys

WHEREVER YOU KEEP YOUR canine's toys, you can instruct them to put their toys away. I realize it sounds odd to show your pooch how to tidy up after itself, however, it's a great deal of fun.  Showing your canine new aptitudes will give them confidence while putting their brains to work. 

Concentrate on Drop

First, get a properly measured box that is low enough that your canine can drop its toys into without having any difficulty and has a wide enough opening that you both can work easily over it. Start by training your pooch to drop a toy when you ask him to do so. Give your hound a toy that he adores, next, hold a treat before his nose while the toy is in his mouth and tell it to drop and once he opens his mouth quickly give him the treat. On the off chance that your canine loves toys, you can avoid the treat and simply utilize another toy as the prize. Do this procedure a few times until you can simply request that he drop without utilizing the food bait in front of his nose.
