0 Dog Training Tutorial: Holding Objects & Clean Up!As requested by many people, in this video I demonstrate the steps in teaching a dog to hold an object by shaping the behavior. Also, you can build on this and teach them to put their toys away in a basket. The trick is to break the task down into smaller components and train each of those independently to success.

Realizing that a complex behavior chain such as this can take several training sessions spread out over a period of days allows us to be patient & teach amazing things through positive reinforcement. The best part about this is that we create a dog that enjoys learning, and figures out on his/her own what we are trying to teach.

    This is the method I’ve been using to try to teach my dog to pick up objects, but I’m having trouble. I can’t get past him just mouthing the object. He won’t hold onto it. He’ll put his mouth on it, but if I were to let go, he’d just let it fall. We’ve been stuck at this point for weeks. Any tips?
