Training them to meet you with a toy is very easy. You start out by playing with your baby and their favorite toy. Make sure when you are playing with the toy, you address it by it's name. Like ball, bear, bone, etc. Each day you come in, you ask "Where's your Ball?", or whatever toy you decide to use. Keep doing that everyday, just as soon as you open the door. Toss the toy a couple of times, before you do anything else. After just a little bit, your baby will be meeting you at the door with it's toy.
