If the fireplace is in a different room, does it still exist?
Canine Philosophy 101
When I say "fireplace" the dogs are supposed to go to the fireplace, get up on the hearth, sit down and wait for additional instructions. If we're in the living room, they do this without hesitation. Almost without hesitation.
But if we're in a different room, they both start looking around, almost frantically, like they know there's somewhere they're supposed to be but can't remember where it is. They might go to a crate, or jump up on the nearest piece of furniture (there's only 3 pieces of furniture in the whole house they're allowed on), or something.
If I walk to the livingroom door and look at the fireplace, you can see the light bulb go on, usually one will get it first and the other follows.

Confucius say: treat-train your dogs the fireplace command, and they'll remember where that fireplace is from any damn room in the house, with QUICKNESS.

Ha. Dogs don't generalize well, so you need to work on sending them to the fireplace from each room. I'd start in the doorway where they can see the fireplace and then move further and further back into the room until they knew "fireplace is in the OTHER room."
