I have two dogs and they keep on taking my socks and underwear and putting them all over the house. I tried putting them in the hamper and they will knock it over and get them any way. Then they will put them all around the house. Mainly on the living room floor right where i can see them. I know this may sound disgusting but i have no idea what to do and they won't stop! What should i do?

I would suggest you start disciplining them and also putting your hamper in a area where they can't knock it over.

I used to have the same problem with my dog. So I went to petco and bought her a ball, 2 bones and another rope like toy. I kept playing with her with them and now she leaves the clothes and shoes alone. They are just bored and are looking for something to play with. So buy them some dog toys to play with.


dogs need toys

That's a great solution. I'll be buying a dog soon and I will give it some toys to play with so it will not think of playing with other stuff


myLot reputation of 87/100. fxysxysrkly (248)   ranked 1,713 out of 7,860 in dogs  6 years ago

Thank you. I have tried buying about 5 toys total but she still will do it! She is my little $#!+.

I know it isn't really funny but I can't help but laugh. I can just imagine my dog dragging my underwear out when my inlaws are here visiting!

Hmm...maybe try giving them old socks to play with? Or buy them toys they can tug?

I had the same problem for a while but my dog eventually just got tired of it. And it was only my underwear and socks and not those of my husband or son. It is because they can smell the female on them. It doesnt matter if they are male or female dog for some reason they are attracted to the smell of female.

they need to teach you in obedience school and you need to learn how to use the crate training. they have to know what is theirs and what is not.

i had a similar problem my labrador/shepard was getting into the garbage in and out of the house so i watched and every time she went near the cans i would say no real load this would startle her and she got away from the cans so now every time she starts to go toward them i yell no! she is learning takes some patience but you have to wait and watch catch them right before they actually do it with a load noise a clap of the hands whatever keep doing it and soon im sure they will stop


myLot reputation of 87/100. fxysxysrkly (248)   ranked 1,713 out of 7,860 in dogs  6 years ago

Thank you. This is the problem with that. You never really know when she gets them until she is right infront of your face and she is looking at you like what did i do. She makes me crazy.

If you have watch catch the Dog Whisper series. He has some good advice for all types of training dogs from behavior problems. Seems largest part are reaction by owners that are the root cause.

You have to get them to understand it is wrong even if you have to punish them. It will take some time on the count of them being attracted to any scent.
