| fetish my 6 moth old yorkie mix has a horrible disguisting fetish. she chews on socks and underwear even if they are not clean. ive tried putting the dirty clothe hamper away but she just finds it and diggs through it until she finds what she's looking for. she will even go into the sock drawer and get them. when i catch her doing it i try to get it away from her but because she's so tiny she will run and hide under anything that she can. sometimes she even growls. WHAT CAN I DO ? |

| You could try getting a real tall hamper, so she can't get in. How does she open you're sock drawer? You may want to move your socks to a higher drawer. I've had my share of underware eaters, and we just had to put things up higher. Do you ever give her socks to play with. If you do she may think it's ok to get them? Best wishes.

Thor's Human Donating Member | [quote=terri23;2425232] she chews on socks and underwear even if they are not clean. [quote] I think you mean especially if they are not clean. Most dogs love dirty clothes - they smell like you! Anyway, I remember an "It's Me or the Dog" episode about this problem, but I don't remember what the solution was... as others have suggested, prevention is the best cure. You can also teach her Drop It / Leave It. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Don't want to discourage you,but,clean, dirty, whatever, Nolee will find the socks, and my daughter's underwear. Not sure what this means. At least I know where he hides them,under my bed. It's his hiding place. I have tried to stop him, but nothing so far works. Good Luck!
