| My shoes are her fav chew toy..plz help!! Hello everyone, I have a 16wk old female yorkie who is in chewing mode. She loves to come in my room in lay under my bed but i have come to realize that she isn't sleeping while under there but actually CHEWING all of my shoes..Ladies we all know thats a no no!! I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and may have any advice or training tips that may be useful for us. It's crazy because I have 3 yorkies and she is the only one that chews my shoes. Idk if its because she the baby or what but i dont wanna banned her from my room when all the others come. I'm a lil lost on this on because she has many chew toys i even keep sum upstairs in case she gets the urge to chew.Plz help us we would appreciate any advice...Thanks Guys |

| Best bet - put the shoes out of her reach - up on a shelf. It is kind of unusual for Yorkies to chew things in my experience - but they all have their little quirks - GOOD LUCK!!!!

| Princess chewed a few flip flops...and pens, TP, books, CD's, anything she could find, especially if we thought it was something she wouldn't like. We learned really quick that the only remedy was to put every possible "victim" out of reach. And that meant everything. She even chewed the house phone & remotes if they were down. She had ample chews & toys but I guess they weren't as exciting. Don't worry, it really shouldn't last forever. I think the worst of it was over around 8-10 months. It's not so strict anymore but she'll occasionally "indulge" in a napkin or receipt if she finds one. But the shoes & such are safe once again. ETA: she finds more stuff if she's frustrated because I'm busy & can't play, so wearing your pup out will probably help, too.
