    lol, Mickey's never showed much interest in house work. But, uh, just how would I teach him that?

    clicker training works best for this, make him think the housework is a fun game, play with things like say a sock and pretend it a great toy, the toss it to him and have him bring it back, keep the basket in front of you and encourage him to drop the sock in the basket then pile on the praise, he's a border collie he should catch on pretty quick lol

    lol what kinds of things does he like? playing with the sock worked for my guys cuz they will play with anything if I make it interesting enugh, but your could for axample stick a tennis ball inside the sock or some treats, . is he clicker trained? this would be a while lot simpler with clicker training lol just click and treat walking toward the sock, then touching the sck, then picking up the sock, then bringing the sock close,r and finally dropping the sock in the basket. its not playing this way, but the sock or whatever artical of clothing would simply be an object that just so happens to be part of the game to get the treats.

    He isn't much for balls, or anything BCs are tradionally for, lol.

    He's more for squeaky toys and such.

    No, he's not clicker trained.

    When he gets his toys, he's not letting go. Especially if he's putting it away in a basket.

    Oh gosh, Jamie won't stay AWAY from socks. I really need to get a clicker though, maybe I'll teach her to put the socks she digs out from the laundry away when she's done slobbering all over them
