| Do yorkies grow out of this??!! Stomper will be 1 years old on 11/27/05. He STILL plays with toilet paper and puts it all over the house! We don't even leave the roll on the holder because he would do it every day!!!! Do they grow out of this? Any suggestions on what I can do to teach him not to touch it?! He will take the toilet paper every time I have it on the holder. He runs around the house like a kid that knows he/she is in trouble! Little turd!

| Mine havent outgrew it yet and my guess is they wont. Maybe you could put your toilet paper holder up higher. They just love to make a mess with TP.

| We don't have this problem, as we keep the bathroom door closed.

| I don't think they ever grow out of this. I have it up high enough that mellie can't reach it and the garbage in the bathrooms have to be emptied everytime someone throws something in it as they think everything in there is a toy.

| My Nikko does the same thing. He even used to get into the little bathroom wastebasket and have a field day with the paper in there!! He used to go after the towels too. We keep the bathroom door closed and keep the tp out of reach.

| Both of my girls used to like to get the toilet paper and the garbage in the BR. They are now 6 yrs old and I don't remember hiw old they were when they stopped. We since bought garbage cans with lids, however, to curb that habit..lol I'm guessing they were around two when they stopped getting the tp! Hang in there, they will stop, eventually. |

| Dogs love paper - not just toilet paper - any kind of paper. My dog will empty a kleenex box in a few minutes. One of his favorite toys is a wadded up piece of paper that he can run around and play with. I think any dog that stays puppy-like and playful is going to continue to love playing with paper. It's not such a bad thing - they can do worse! Carol Jean |

| We also know that if there are any paper towels, kleenex, or tp within nose reach just to expect to be picking it up all over the house when they get done or when we walk back into the room...lol. Mine love it and grab any paper whenever available. |

| Roxie is 11 months and we have to keep ALL paper up and out the way. She even tries to go through my son's backpack for paper. We keep all the bathroom doors shut too! But then again, she also loves pencils, pens, socks, hats etc.... oh since she loves to dig in my purse she will try and get bills out your wallet or the gum pack.

| Oh no way!! I would think it is way too much fun to play with toilet paper to ever grow out of it, and if people would not think I was insane and lock me up, I would do it too!!!! lolololol
