We kept the bathroom doors closed for a year. Now we have the covered trash cans and he leaves the TP alone. Every time he goes in a bathroom we say "out" which he knows and he turns around and gets out. So he kind of knows bathrooms are off limits.
Shoes used to stay in the closet although now he is not even interested. When he was a puppy if he approached the shoes I would put a bone in his mouth instead. Re-direct that need to chew to an appropriate toy. If he is doing this while unattended, well, he should not be unattended. Therefore it should be easy to fix.
We also keep socks in the laundry basket (he only steals the dirty ones) and he only steals them to see if someone will chase him. If no one chases him it's no fun and he drops them. He also knows the "drop" command and will trade or a treat or I ask him to fetch and he brings back the sock. Honestly, he doesnt chew them only steals them so he's not really hurting anything and I don't think too much of it.
As far as peeing in the crate - try monitoring his water and making sure he goes outside a LOT. Even every 15 mins if necessary. Loki peed that often until he was 4 months old. Good luck. |
