| Don't give him/her access to your shoes when you're not home. When you are home, keep pup close so you can catch him/her in the act and correct him/her. A simple "no" and removing the shoes from the area will suffice. Be very vigilant. Good luck!

| If your pup has free roam and the shoe rack is out in the open, then you have two choices. Move the shoe rack to where your pup can't have access to them anymore, like a closet. That means picking up slippers and anything she might get into up off the floor. Or you can start confining your dog to areas of the house where your pup won't get into anything. Let your pup out when you can watch and correct any unwanted behavior. Your pup is young and can grow out of this behavior. Other things you can do to help is exercise your pup. Walks, games of fetch, tug of war... Give your pup something appropriate to do or tire them out and they'll be less likely to bite shoes, steal socks, or do some other naughty behaviors.

YT 1000 Club Member | I leave my Shoes out and available to my two all the time. At one time, yes, there was a problem, but an appropriate scolding, and handing your Dog what he can chew on, is the way I taught mine to be selective. They still have Shoes to chew on, but only the ones I allow. So, ok, put them up during your absence, during the training, but... If you keep them put up, then you'll never know your training is working. It is well within the capacity of a Yorkie, to be taught selectivity.

| I'm sorry, I should have made that clear. Picking stuff up is only until you can trust the pup.

When Miles was neutered, I stayed home with him until it was time to remove the e-collar. What if the collar got stuck on the fence somehow and he suffocated to death??? Not worth the risk!!! | |

| I'm sorry, but do you mean you left him in the garage? It sounds like you are having a lot of challenges training your new little one , is he a rescue? I would highly recommend enrolling him and you and your family in a dog obedience class. Look around your area and call the trainers and specifically ask for a small dog class that uses positive reinforcement, no choke collars!. Also look for reviews and talk to other happy customers who have gone through the training. Hope this helps!

YT Addict | It is simple for me; I don't leave anything lying around that I don't want Miles to have access to. He is an animal and I don't expect him to behave like a human adult. |
