FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

November 25, 2011

The day after Thanksgiving, when many still have pots and pans soaking, is a good time to share this video of Lilly putting away her dog toys. You’ll notice that she holds them down with her foot. That’s because she often puts her toys away with such enthusiasm that they fly out of the basket. No reward for that, so Lilly learned to make sure they stay put. Therefore, the foot bonus action became part of the dog trick.

About the Author Roxanne Hawn

Trained as a traditional journalist and based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA, I'm a full-time freelance writer for magazines, websites, and private clients. My areas of specialty include everything in the lifestyles arena, including health and home, personal finance and other consumer interests, relationships and trends, people and business profiles ... and, of course, all things pet related.

I don't just love dogs. I need them in my life. Seriously.

  1. How clever is Lilly? I love watching dogs put their toys away! Don’t know why, it just fascinates me.

  2. Thats fantastic! I love how she barks at the end – like she’s letting you know it’s time for a treat. 🙂

  3. OMD (oh my dog) how she loves to put away her toys! I need to work on that task with Norman and Betsy.

  4. I love it! We did a shaping exercise with Dusty’s toy basket in the hopes of teaching him to put his toys away, but we haven’t gotten there yet. Lilly must be really smart! 🙂
