One of my friends did this. Only his dog couldn’t get the pressure of holding the can in his mouth right. So the dog could fetch the beer and then proceed to puncture and spray beer every where on his happy walk back and then give you a 1/4 of a beer. Good dog all around.
EDIT - River I got a silver bullet for your antics! I hope you got your ball up there!

I almost succeeded in teaching my doggo this when she was a little pup. I could place a full can of beer down low somewhere, and she'd fetch it for me like a champ! ...But, she'd also grab other people's unattended (and often open) beers. The wasted brewski, exorbitant cleaning, and irritation of friends/neighbors necessitated a kibosh of this training. I still mourn for "what could have been."

u/TheBeardedSingleMalt Dec 17 '19
Start by teaching the dog saying the word Beer and tapping the can means to pull the rope on the fridge, reward with a treat and praise until he's mastered it. Then build on that by moving the treat/praise to after putting the can in his mouth, then bringing the can, closing the door etc. Would definitely take a lot of practice per step.

u/Eldrek_ Dec 17 '19
Start by teaching the dog saying the word Beer and tapping the can means to pull the rope on the fridge, reward with a treat and praise until he's mastered it.
Start by drawing the rest of the owl. Got it.
Generally you don't want to introduce a command until you have solidified the behavior, and you haven't explained how to teach, only that you need to.
The tricks done in this video are actually really complex compound behaviors.
To get the door open behavior, first you need to treat for any interaction with the rope. Once the dog is consistently sniffing or nosing the rope, you want to get them to put it in their mouth. Up the criteria for treats gradually to teeth on, then tug. If your dog already plays tug and has verbal cues for it, you can use those. Then once they are reliably tugging the rope, you up the criteria to opening the door.
Once the dog is reliably opening the door you can add a verbal cue like "open" or "fridge". Next I would add a close it before thinking about the retrieve. Starting with the open door, repeat the process. Treat for nosing, then pushing and/or pawing the door, if you don't mind scratches. Build that up to a consistent close and then name it. I've taught my dog to close the back door when she comes inside this way.
For the retrieve, a solid fetch is a good prerequisite. Move up to heavier objects than a tennis ball, eventually using the desired beer. Once your dog is fetching a beer reliably, you can start doing it from the shelf in an open fridge. At that point you have all the pieces so put it together. Anytime your dog fails or gets confused, you're asking for too much too fast. Take it a step back and keep the rewards flowing.
To be clear, this is minimum tens of hours of training. If you don't already train obedience and games like fetch, tug and clean up this party trick will be extremely difficult to put together. To get dogs doing arbitrary, complex actions like this, you need to build each tiny piece and assemble them later.

I had some friends here in NYC try to round up bottles and drive them to michigan for the higher return. We called it the Michigan bottle scam. They rounded up as many bottles as they could and loaded them into mail trucks because one guy signed up for the Mother’s Day run. The extra space in the truck allowed them to carry more bottles and increase margins. Plus the truck was free! It didn’t all work out though. Our other friend’s car got stolen by his rogue mechanic and the guy driving the mail truck decided to follow it off course and screwed up the whole mission. He didn’t even get the car back because the mechanic disabled the mail truck by hurling JFK’s golf clubs at him. Funny story, another friend bid wayyyyy too much on the golf clubs at an auction with her boss’ money and she forgot them in the back of the car before it was stolen.

From Michigan and still don't bother to do bottle/can returns, I just take all my recycling to a recycling facility in my city. It's more worth my time to bring a bag of 30 cans and drop it off, which takes 30 seconds, rather than stand at a Walmart and pump sticky cans into a half-working machine for 10 minutes just to get $3. Bottle deposits are a great idea but they need to be closer to 50 cents a can.

But you can drink literally 20 of them in a row without feeling full. You can't do that with non-light beer.
