I'm Going to Beat My Dog

She's a lab, so she chews.  She's a puppy, so she chews.  We have bought her plenty of chew toys, and are certain that we've passed the phase of her chewing furniture and shoes.

However, she's gotten a sock fetish all of a suddenly.  Not just anyone's socks, but mine.  But, she's gotten really smart about where to find them.

Usually when I take my shoes and socks off (with the intention of putting them back on later) I put a sock in each shoe.

Well, yesterday, she went into our room and pulled out both of my socks out of my shoes and proceeded to chew them up.  I was on my computer at the time, so I didn't notice her walking on by with my socks.

I figured that she just got lucky, but no....

I'm working from home today, so I took my daughter to school, came home, took my shoes and socks off and put the shoes next to me at my computer desk, and stuffed the socks down a little in the shoes.

Work actually gets busy, and when I get a break, I get up to go get a Diet Dew in the fridge.   Well, who's out in the family room chewing on a pair of socks?  The dog.  She not only grabbed ONE sock out of a shoe sitting right next to me, she grabbed TWO.

I don't know whether to be proud that I have one sneaky ass dog, or pissed that she's now chewed up 2 pairs of socks of mine. 

Check that....  I just went to let her in from outside....  She has yet another sock.  I have no clue where she got it from, but she's running back and forth with it in her mouth taunting me with it.

Where's my gun... (j/k!)

Yum

Labs also like to eat dogshit. I'm guessing those socks could clear a room.

I have a lab and a mini schnauzer. If you are the main caretaker, player, lover, general all around keeper of the dog, the dog is going to want to carry around things of yours. My lab is 10 years old and will still do all that stuff and more. Puppies love to chew, lab puppies will love to chew till they die. Mine will chew on anything. She has been known to chew on a steel wire brush, the wire end. If your dog is eating shit, something is missing from there diet, consult your vet. Do not buy the rawhides to chew on. These will not digest and cost a lot to have removed surgically(ask me how I know$$$$$). Real cow bones are great thing for them to chew on. Get the ones that fit your dog and also get the ones that allow you to pack peanut butter in the center. These will entertain your dog for hours. Our mini loves my wifes panties for some reason, not clean ones either. the dog will open the top of the hamper and jump in dig around get out a pair jump out and prance around the house like he just discovered hidden gold.

http://www.petco.com/product/104091/Extreme-KONG-Dog-Toy.aspx Best toy ever for dogs that like to chew. Stuff it with peanut butter, instead of that high priced filling they sell, and watch her go at it for hours. Awesome stuff!

I have 3 black labs.. Let me tell you they love to chew. My lab/pitt loves socks too. my opinion: 1. dont take your socks off. 2. beat the piss out of the dog for taking them. 3. dont leave them laying around (even in your shoe) and 4.. LMFAO.. i cant help but laugh at this.

Get a plastic bag from the grocery store and hang it up behind your computer desk. Use it like a makeshift hamper to keep them out of reach of your dog.

It's really simple to break them of the sock chewing habit. Just wait until she takes them, and take them back calmly but assertively. Put them on the floor between the two of you. If she goes after them, she gets calmly but firmly scolded. Repeat a few times and she'll have it. Unless you're the bitch in the relationship, that is :D
