How in the world do I stop my baby from stealing everything she comes in contact with? If you can't find it, you have only to look in KoKo's cubby!! This is getting really frustrating as I have a 7 month old granddaughter and she is stealing her toys, binkys and everything else in sight.

The only ways I know of are 1) to keep things out of reach, 2) intensive training that requires supervision, teaching your pup to trade for a treat or to "drop it."

In addition to the stealing being a nuisance, sounds like some of the things might be hazardous to your pup if she decided to chew or swallow them.

Watch the baby toys and binkies -- a pup could chew right through the rubber/fabric & choke or end up with a twisted or overlapping intestine (intusussception.)

your puppy is only 8 weeks old you need to set it aside in a safe place like a playpen

We have to watch Bella closely, she is a little thief too. Thankfully, she learned " leave it" really easily.
