Weary of stepping on Molly’s laid-out bones and crying out in pain, we decided to test the old adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” and train her to put her toys away.

Thankfully, she is extremely motivated by her stomach and will eagerly do anything for a kibble.

She successfully put her bone in the bucket a handful of times, then things went downhill. She resorted to every other trick she knows (sit, high-five, lie down, roll over…) in order to get a kibble, but seemed to forget how she was earning the reward in the first place. We shall continue the training another day…
