First, teach your dog a hold command. (Sundog already has a good hold command.) Then, you hold the straw in the can and offer the end of it to the dog and tell her/him to hold it. After that, you progress to getting the dog to do it while you're not holding the can. I use an empty can inside, so sometimes she accidentally knocks the can down. Outside, for the video, I put some sand in the can for weight. For the video, it was convenient and believable to hold the can. Also, sometimes the straw sticks to their tongues, so just carry on if that happens.
