A little rainy day fun with the dog!! Teaching him to help you clean up Photo: Jaymi Heimbuch Clean-up time can be a lot of fun when your dog knows how to put things away! This game is easy — just scatter the toys all over thehouse and have your dog find each one and put it away in a basket to earn a reward. Start out by first training your dog to know what put it away means. Work on teaching your dog to pick up a toy, carry it to a basket or box, and drop it in the box. This alone will be a fun challenge for both of you if youre new to this trick. Then to play the game, scatter a bunch of toys in a small area, point to one and say put it away until all the toys are back in their basket. Increase the difficulty of the game as your dog gets better at it by scattering the toys farther around the room, scattering them throughout multiple rooms, or even hiding them!
