Devildogsgirl Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I have a 7 month old female Pomerainean this past month she has started eating articals of clothing. She devoures my underwear and has now apparently moved on to shirts. She has toys and gets lots of attentiona and plays outside most of the day. It seems like its only my clothes that she does this to. Is there ANY way I can get her to stop???? :madgo: :niewiem: :stop: :Dog_run: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotten_two Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 here's the easiest answer: don't give her access to your clothing. she is fairly young and should be attended when she is not crated. supervise supervise supervise. (haha now go read my thread about my dog who just ate a digital thermometer) :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahluvsherpups Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I agree with what was said above. At least your dog didn't eat a $200.00 cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the days when they chewed on cheap stuff because they were teething... Now they are spiteful brats and go for the important stuff. :roll:[/quote] Agreed! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotten_two Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 where were you whilst she was negotiating the furniture to get your undies? supervise, supervise, supervise. it will get expensive if she eats something and gets an intestinal blockage -- that surgery costs about $3000 :o you really need to keep an eye on her. tether her to you, to furniture in a room where you are, or put her in a crate.

kailynsandiego Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 If your dog is eating clothing, it's important to address the behavior to prevent potential health issues. Here are some steps you can take to discourage your dog from eating clothing: Remove access to clothing: Make sure your dog does not have access to clothing by keeping it out of reach. Put dirty laundry in a hamper with a lid, and keep closet doors closed. Provide alternatives: Give your dog safe and appropriate items to chew on, such as chew toys or bones. Supervise your dog: Keep a close eye on your dog to ensure they are not getting into anything they shouldn't be. If you see them going for clothing, redirect their attention to a toy or bone. Train your dog: Teach your dog the "leave it" command, and reward them when they obey. This can help redirect their attention away from clothing. Seek professional help: If the behavior persists, consider seeking the help of a professional dog trainer or behaviorist to address underlying behavioral issues. Remember that it's important to remain patient and consistent when addressing unwanted behaviors in your dog. With time and training, you can help them develop good habits and prevent potential health issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
