Have been unsuccessful training my dogs to put their toys away. My other golden was really really smart. She would fetch all kinds of stuff by name, including beer from an ice chest. She could turn the tv on and off, and open and close doors, cabinet doors and the ice box (if there was a towel hanging on the ice box handle.) But she just never got the put thing is the basket, or trash in a trash can, she would just fetch stuff and drop it when told. My current dog will fetch a couple of times, but loses interest and very very very reluctantly gives anything up.

The really interesting thing is the dog that doesn't want to give you anything she fetches doesn't care if you take food out of her mouth. The super smart do everything dog would go berserk if you got even said anything about her food while she was eating, and growl and snap if you got too close.
