My dog steals everything and hide it under my bed and makes it her place to sleep.

Buy your dog lots of toys and whenever he grabs something that he is not supposed to have, you say no sternly and take if from him and than give him one of his own toys to play with right away, and praise him saying goodboy, goodboy. Consistancy is key here. Eventually he will learn that his specific toys are the only things that he should put in his mouth. My dog was the same way and now she is great at knowing she can only play and chew on her own toys. Hope this helps.

Have you thought about buying her a comfy dog bed. And if you already have one if you put something like a shirt that you have been wearing all day that smells like you on it, it will make it like the bed he has been trying to make himself.

Put a chain around him and let him be in a corner of the house and dont let anything near him. Another way is to keep all of ur things away from the reach of ur dog.

I got one worse. My dog takes everything under the bed and eats it! I'm having a trainer come Wednesday, if he gives any helpful hints I will let you know.
