how to stop dog from eating your slippers?

Answer 1

Put your slippers where the dog can't get to them.

Answer 2

Well, I would certainly not go the route of poison on your slippers unless you want a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

There are several routes to go with this. First of all is a simple solution of putting your slippers where they are not able to be gotten by the dog. Although this sounds like a perfect solution, it is not always effective enough. Often the dog will simply turn it's attention to something else like a different shoe. You can also use things like red pepper powder, or bitter apple spray.

The best way to take this is to change the dog's habits. Start by spraying the slippers with bitter apple (available at most any PetSmart). This will make them taste terrible to the dog. Then give the dog something like a Kong toy with some peanut butter smeared inside of it, or a nice chewie to keep it occupied and to give it something appropriate to chew on. Take an empty milk carton and put some pennies in it. If the dog is caught chewing something it should not chew, then throw the milk jug on the floor near the dog. The noise will startle the dog from what it was doing and let it know it is not the proper thing to be doing. Right after you do this, immediately give the dog his chew toy/rawhide and praise him when he chews it instead. This will condition the dog to know the right things to chew from the wrong things to chew.

Whatever you do, do not yell and scream at the dog and hit him for chewing on the wrong things. It is a natural instinct for a dog to want to chew (particularly dogs under the age of 2), and it needs to be taught right from wrong. You do not want to make your dog fear you, so use a gentle hand and praise him for what he does right.

Answer 3

Well the only thing is listen to many of these answers and choose the best one. But you shouldn't have to give him your slipper, you are the boss and what you say goes, so if he goes near it tell him/her "no" and move him away and continue doing that until he gets that no means stay away. My dog don't chew on any of my shoes but once in a while he chews on my childrens toys. And I still repeat to him "no" Dogs are not dumb they just need a little time to learn the words and the actions at the same time. Almost like potty training them.

Answer 4

put your slippers where your dog cant get them... or try to train your dog. let him eat them, but when you ctach him doing it, raise your tone of voice, and say NO or somesort of negative command to startle him a bit... i'm not saying to be mean, but just firm and discipline the dog... then if the dog does it again, then keep on doing it until the dog gets it. try this with an old slipper so that it will not mess up yours. you can also buy him some dog toys or his own slippers to chew on. but i think that training your dog will benefit you more in the long run.

Answer 5

Keep the slippers out of reach of the dog....

Answer 6

Ok, this is usaully because a dog is acting out. Believe it or not it can be because he isn't getting enough exercise. It can also be because he is upset about you leaving or something like that.
try doing daily walks of at least an hour. Tire him out but never let him lead you. He has to go into the work mindset to really get an effective workout. When they get into the sniffing thing, they go into the hunting mindset and get excited and this may make your problem worse. Also, only scold him when you catch him doing it. Don't beat him with it, that causes fear, not respect.

Answer 7

i went to target one time and they have all this toy for dogs that are slippers and shoes, etc. buy one so your dog would stop eating them and also watch the dog whisperer, its a good show for dog owners.

Answer 8

Go out and buy a toy slipper for your dog to rassle with and make sure you put your real ones up. If you aren't looking to spend money on a dog toy get on of your "old" & "usless" shoes for him/her to play with.
