My dog (3.5 year old red heeler mix) has a toy box. I don't think I ever read that dogs should have one, we just got tired of all the toys being all over the place (which they usualy are anyway=) We havn't yet taught her to put things away, but she's accualy being trained as a service dog and we've trained her to pick up things and hand them to us. We use the command "get it" to thell her to pick something up and "give it to me" for her to put it in our hand/let us take it from her mouth willingly. =) As with most tricks/commands tell them the command as they are doing the action, such as as they are reaching their head down to pick up their toy say the command in a incuraging way, and praise them when they pick up their toy. And so on. =) =) =)
