My female dog, 3 years old. has a fetish for clothes. She has had it since I got her. I have tried alot of things, I've run out of ideas.
What she eats ranges from underpants to dish cloths to jeans. she even ate the zipper off my jeans!!
I'm afraid if she keeps eating them she will hurt herself, any Idea how I stop her before its to late?

get a hamper that has a fold down top to put your clothes in. keep your laundry room door closed and don't leave your clothes in places she can eat them. and your right she can hurt herself. my neighbors dog just died 2 weeks ago from eating a pair of underwear that twisted up his intestines.buy lots of chew toys and have them every where. if she gets a hold of clothing tell her no firmly and then hand her a chew toy then praise her. get a crate to put her in when you cant watch her. good luck

some pet stores or veterinarians sell a bitter apple spray that you can spray on your clothes, and when the dog tries to eat them, it won't taste very good and then she will learn to leave them alone. you also might want to try an animal behaviorist or trainer - your vet might have some #'s for ones in your area.

Only leave one item in your puppy's reach and put hot sauce or black pepper all over the item and once she sniffs it, she will leave it alone. For several days, wave the item in front of her, you will know from her reaction whether she got the message. Since she has so many favorite items, limits the number of items in his reach and you might have to sprinkle black pepper on a few items until he gets the hint. (Use the items she has already destroyed if possible)
Best Wishes!!!

The only solution for this problem is to keep clothes out of her reach. I have one dog with this problem. This is the only solution I have found.

My step-sisters dog eats her underwear....also his own poop...I don't know what to tell you except to be sure that you put your clothes in the hamper....sorry, but I think that this is relatively common.

Simple, keep the clothes up out of her reach.

keep them out of her reach. spritz with pepper spray (dogs hate that, but, then, so will your friends)
