Teach Your Dog To Know Each Of Their Toys By Name
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Teaching your dog to differentiate between toys can be fun and useful. You can use this technique to teach your dog to clean up their toys, grab a beer from the fridge, pick up socks lying around ect. All training used is Progressive Reinforcement - no physical or psychological intimidation is used.

I have a border collie that knows 17 different toys and I never attempted to train her, I just called them what they were when playing with her and she figures it out in a day every time. Brilliant dog. When we play and she starts getting super excited I'll ask her, "do you got the rabies?" and she stops and looks at me as if I've lost my mind. It's hillarious!
You can definitely start up clicker training at anytime, no matter the age or breed. The clicker just clears everything up because it's such as distinctive noise that the dog KNOWS "yes, that's what I was suppose to do", it takes out the guessing for the dog.
Our family dog recognizes all toys by name by listening to our family conversation and learns from it. No training needed. We only worry about him knowing too much about us.

Lol my dog just knows everything he plays with as ball. I'm happy enough with that lol.
Excellent instruction! I got my Loki up to 7 different toys. Kong, Frisbee, Rope, Hotdog, Tennis Ball, Rubber Ball, and Tug. Not many plush toys because they don't last very long. I added something, I used a milk crate, so every time he came with the toy I'd hold the crate so he would by default drop it into the crate, Thus he learned to fetch a toy and put it away at the same time! Now when we start a session, one of his behavior presentations, is to put away his toys!
Our previous Border Collie, Benji, he knew all of his toys by name. Probably the first border collie we had that enjoyed his toys so much.🐾🐾🐶🦴❣️💜
Dog: Work hard for threats Cat : "I just have to be cute"
the dog knew what to do immediately, but played along to get the easy treats.

Haha! This is probably true XD
OMG, it works! I spent an evening (on and off to make sure she didn't get tired) on this trick and I'm seeing a lot of progress. She picks out the right toy among three toys most of the time. She needs a little help in the beginning of every session, but she gets it after a few tries.
My 1 year collie knows all her toys by name and we did not need a clicker or treats/just play with them and the toy/naming the toy when you play and she knows them all.When in another room,ask her to go get a named toy and she goes and gets it.

@@miatreadwell1874 The collie is at the level of reasoning a toy's name by inferring different things. Neil DeGrass Tyson tested her. Reasoning skills are breed instinct and can't be click trained.
you are a great trainer..BUT starting with a Border Collie is half the battle lol

I am a trainer and behaviour consultant. Dog tricks are my secret passion!
Thank you for your patience.
This worked soooo well! And in such a short time! I don't have a clicker, but the treats were a very good motivator for my Collie mix, so we didn't need a clicker. Thank you SO much for this lesson! Keep it up because I adore your videos!
the cat being "knocked off" reminded me of some Japanese wrestling game in the Nintendo Family computer. look at that feet
This worked wonderfully. Thank you for the great advise. Loved watching Milford trying to steal the show lol.
to be honest I have a border collie when we get her a new toy we name it repeat it a few times and she just remembers it almost straight off with no training
Thank you for all your tips!
Great training video & instructions! Thank you!
WOW! You are fabulous (and your dog).
The cat's tail rubbing underneath Luna's chin at the end is hilarious.....Luna is completely ignoring her. 😂 Great tutorial! Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try this!
Great job... Exceptional dog and trainer...
Wonderful video! It's great to see the proper technique to use when things don't actually go the way you want. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much for this video! Super helpful and clear. Also, your animals are precious!
Your amazing Ive seen the last couple videos and Im impressed and it will definatly help
Enjoyed this video. It is the second one, that I have viewed, (made by you). Very nice instructional presentation. Keep them coming.
Thank you so much for this helpful video. My BC knows the toy after two lessons, with a little help. He and I are loving it! You are great.
Thanks! However, any tricks I use are purely based on basic training/clicker techniques (shaping, luring, capturing etc). I haven't read the book so I can't say if it's similar in the chaining or not, but you will see many trainers use their imagination to create a trick for their dog to perform. Many tricks have many different steps to learn them :)
Agreed, this video is awesome. Thank you!!
Great tutorial. My Rottie mix picked this right up using your technique. Thanks for all of your great videos.
Our border collie is 16 weeks old and he knows the name of several toys. Thinking about it, he's known it for a few weeks now and I'm stunned to see how smart he actually is. We have hardly trained him at all for half of the stuff he knows and are able to do, we have just shown him a couple of times 😁 he just learns so easily by paying attention and listening to us. And he'd probably learn brain surgery for a nice treat since he's a sucker for anything eatable 😁 Pardon my english, not my first language 😊

I’m a border collie, and there can be only one…
omg this is such a delight to watch!
I wish I'd seen your videos earlier. My dog was really smart, he learned the names of, and would get a few things/people, without consistent training. I wish I had a chance to teach him more. Great videos, will try when I get adopt a new pup! =)
Good Tips Thanks
very helpful. thx u so much
GREAT video, you have a beautiful dog, thanks for the information.
Another great vid and cool trick. Always a pleasure to watch you and Luna work. It's a "shame" Luna is so well behaved & trained, we so rarely get to see what to do to correct the wrong behavior! Awesome Bullet Bill t-shirt!
Your videos are great! Thank you do much!
Another great vid! Love the Bullet Bill t-shirt!
@Theinvisibleteenager You can still teach tricks/obedience commands without a clicker, just use the word "YES" in place of the clicker. Instead of standing above the dog you lure your dog under a coffee table that is high enough so the dog can fit, same concept.
Nice job. It really is true when they say "Once is a habit" when it comes to BC's.
I love how she just shoves the cat 😂 Cat: not a shit was given
Some good tips. Thanks! My greyhound dog from repetition knows penguin, squirrel, lambie, elephant, hippo and ball. But he's got 19 more toys to learn. So I'm going to try your method 😉
Try to hold most of the toy in your hand. If that doesn't work, try teaching the "leave it" cue or search no mugging by kikopup.
Milford: "Hi! What are you doing here?" :D
Thanks! I do have video's demonstrating cue's/behaviours on green dogs and puppies, but they tend to be more obedience oriented. :)
Lol your cat at the end lol :D hope my girls get along with my boy pup so well
I love how your cat is in almost every video in the house haha
I love your videos!
your cat wants to play too! Great video!
Very helpful video. And the cat is so cute, too!
U both are awesome
Wow you're awesome! I love dog's and i want to be a dog trainer and maybe do something with behaviour and stuff, just like you. I have a Border Collie mix and I'm definitely gonna learn her to find the 'right' toy.
It sounds like you need BETTER food rewards so it's better then running off and playing with a toy. If you have an awesome treat, your dog won't even think of running off. I actually don't even know how many toys she knows the name of, I would say 15-20 that are very reliable (regular toys) then another 10 or so that aren't too familiar with. I can't fit more then that many toys in her toy-box! lol
I'm going to train my cattle dog/kelpie/dobie mix this! 🥰
She is really good
Luna is so cute! I have a smooth coated tri-color border collie; I have never trained him using a clicker though. What are your thoughts on starting clicker-method training after a dog has already been used to training without it? He has learned some objects already (without a clicker)...he knows what his bed is, his pull toy ("rings"), and his ball. I'm guessing that the clicker would just make the learning process more efficient? Thoughts?
I love her shirt.....
thank you so much you inspire me with your training videos I had my dog for a year my first fur child he's a pit mix he's 2 years old. And the clicker helps a lot and with the yummy treats my dog loves loves, carrots and thisbtrick works I'm shock
thanks to you i now have a bc that knows every toy that weve given a name to!
I taught my dog to do this by playing fetch with her toys and calling out "Bring [toy name]!" whenever she's about to turn and head back to me. The first one was tricky, but now she seems to pick up new names easily. If I didn't just throw the toy and it's just lying around somewhere, she'll go off looking for it until she finds it. I turned it into a game of hide and seek too, so she's really good at finding her stuff when asked. It's actually sort of amazing and really funny watching her scour the apartment for her toy. She always seems to get hungry in the middle of a search, almost like her brain is running extra hard! Mine is named Luna too :) A fluffy little eskie haha
wow, I had a cat named Milford too, for many years. He was named after a flight engineer I knew.

@KrissyKris1468 - Using your process, my dog can now 100% retrieve a new toy named "Red" from a pack of three older unnamed toys. Then this week I repeated the process with a new toy "Banana" and she can 100% retrieve it from the pile of three old toys. But when I put "Banana" and "Red" together with the three other toys, she struggles to get them accurately, probably because she is used to either getting a treat. What's is the process (or steps) for helping her differentiate between the two known named toys, "Red" and "Banana"? And when they are placed together with other unnamed toys? Previous to this, for the last 10 years, she considered "Hedgehog" as the stand in name for all her toys! This training has been so fun and joyful for her!
that cat is gigantic! great video :)
This is a new new new game for mine, so it's going... slowly, lol. He's much more interested in Yummy Treats than in Toy.
I'd especially like to see this applied with the same exact toy in 2 different colors. I'm training my border collie as a service animal. Came here to see tips and tricks for multiple bags I'm training her to retrieve with medications, water, and other items. I'll eventually train her to bring me her vest, too. One thing I'd add to this video is to make sure you have a different visual command for each toy. Dogs are overwhelmingly visually oriented. Some breeds won't even respond to different verbal commands.
omg ur cat is so cute
this is going to be really hard!!!!! xD nice tips... thankyou
I guess I didn't realize how highly intelligent my girl is. she was differentiating between her toys at 3 months with little to no effort in training her and could also dig in her toy box and pick out the right toy, I never gave her a treat as a reward, the reward is the toy.
I'm pretty sure mine now thinks that chicken is called bunny...lol
Great video! Thanks :-)
You’re the cutest dog trainer
Awesome CHANNEL FIRST TIME HERE GREAT EXPLANATIONS just one small thing our dogs are body language experts when you look ate the object it knows where to go it's hard not to give them these hints
I love your tricks!!!!! Are you a dog trainer???
what happen if you say " Luna, get Milford !"

@KrissyKris1468 I have a cavalier and I would love to teach her go hide and to differentiate her toys, however as she is a family dog and not everyone is willing to use a clicker although we do use positive/progressive reinforcement. how would be best to teach this and the other tricks without a clicker. I am also very interested in the crawling trick, I have tried it but she keeps standing up. I can get on the floor but not stand, I have a disability how could I prevent this? Thanks
Definitely helps having a Border Collie :)
I like it
yeeee, good girl...
Nice T-shirt!
My dog either seems more interested in the treats or actually playing tug/chewing the toy rather than simple acknowledging what and where it is. Any ideas how to amend this? Thanks ^_^
Have tried this with my one year old border collie. I'm holding up her sqeaky pig, and saying 'piggy'. She just sits there looking away, waiting for me to throw it. She's trying to work out what she needs to do, for me to throw it, like offering me her paw LOL.
i'm gonna adopt a BC.......it is brown and white and sooooooo cute
Nice video! What kind of treat do you give her and doesn't she get fat if you giver her too much? :)
Noooo pet stores!!! I bought Luna from a Breeder out here just out of Vancouver. Luna is a registered Border Collie in our Province. Look to adopt, there are many BC's that are given away because of their energy.
I have a cat named Milford too!
Big shout out to making an amazing video about actually how to train your dog!!!! not just some Fan Fest showing you handing your dog treats for sitting in tight yoga pants a push-up bra and somehow pretending the video is about the animal not just a trollop looking for followers. Sorry for the really horrible detailed description but I have a brand new puppy and I'm looking for advice and I have seen far too many Instagram skanks this morning and this is so refreshing and honestly you are far more good-looking than all the other girls who don't know how to own a t-shirt or focus on their pup

Moocyfer 2.0 my two border Collies love skanks in yoga pants. Didn't even train them for that. Ok, well i did teach them to fetch skanks. Most women wear the yoga pants already.
My border is 12wks old he's likes to play tug and chase the ball but not bring it back when I have treats he prefers to sit instead of play and usually when he goes for the toy he takes it where he wants to chew on. Any tips or videos on how to teach fetch. It's a little discouraging because my sheltie I had fetched immediately and new all her toys so fast >.
Haha, I just got a four month old puppy, and his previous owners didn't teach him anything, not even his name, which I had changed anyway; he's used to it already. Now, I try to teach him to sit, lay, which I just got done practicing with him, but he gets SO hyper and starts attacking me. I don't want to teach him violence but I'm not sure how to correct these actions. Also, whenever I am out of his sight, he barks, and barks, and barks. Any suggestions of how to correct either of these actions?
You have a BC of course its easy. They learn in just 2 or 3 repetitions.. my Aussie Heeler cross knows around 50 names of toys
How do you keep your dog from just taking the toy from you or trying to tug it during training? or is that ok?
haha, he was coming to nudge my face. He's a big space invader so I thought I would stop him in his tracks. Don't worry he loves it, he'll actually throw himself on the ground out of nowhere. lol.
can i start with a clicker now but i have taught my dog lots of tricks without it an will it make it easier with a target stick too
hahahahh is funny how she went to you and kiss you Nice video!
I wouldn't say you cat likes to be pushed off its feet but he doesn't mind it, and you certainly did NOT hurt him.
I would like to see how to train this among 3 or 4 different toys that they all know. This exercise doesn't really have great application if the other toys mean nothing because they aren't named....
