You sneeze, and the dog goes and fetches you a Kleenex!

I started by rolling the Kleenex into a ball and tossing it just like fetch. Once they get used to the texture, then you don't roll it up as much. Just get them to bring the open Kleenex.

Then lay it on top of a box of Kleenex and get them to fetch. Lastly, leave it in the box.

Add the sneeze cue whenever you want. You say fetch and then sneeze. Eventually, all you have to do is sneeze.
I thought you meant to make the dog sneeze. Uni does this. Maybe I should be getting her a tissue! I didn't teach her, it's just a quirk she does. If she barks at me, and I tell her no, she will growl. If I no to that, she will look at me and then sneeze. We have come to understand the sneeze means "F you mommy!"
