Stop dog from chewing my shoes?
QUESTION: My dog loves to eat shoes! How do I get her to stop? answered by Bridget Pilloud ANSWER: Your shoes are a strange combination of everything your dog loves: they're chewy and they smell like you. One dog told me that her owner should think of her shoe chewing as a compliment! Most dogs feel guilty after they've destroyed a shoe. They didn't mean to eat it. They just meant to experience it a little. To make it stop, you need to remove the three causes of shoe chewing: the temptation, the loneliness and the boredom. Remove the Temptation To control the cravings, give her an alternative like a nylabone or a kong. Do not give her a rawhide chew. Rawhide chews are cowhide. They're a lot like shoes. Let's not confuse her with nuance. Remove the Loneliness Remove the Boredom Bridget Pilloud is a professional intuitive animal communicator.
