my wife and I were discussing some creative jobs we can give our 7 month old border collie. One thing that came up was picking up laundry (between my wife and our kids, this is one of the biggest problems we have... dirty laundry all over the floors.) Where would a person start on training a dog to do this? He's pretty good about not chewing on things, even though he likes to chew on the kid's toys somewhat (but so do they...) I've heard of other people successfully doing it. Right now, we're focusing on basic obedience. I'd love to teach him to turn off light switches, but he's not tall enough to reach the switches and don't know if he ever will be (he was the runt o f the litter.)
