Why does my dog eat shoes and how do I stop it?

Question

Last question: When I use your answer, what if my dog still eats shoes?

Answer 1

hiya you didnt say if your dog is fully grown or just a puppy,the commonest answer to that question is that he is bored,he needs things to occupy his time,lots of exercise,chew toys and try to keep your shoes well away from him,like a shoe chest or store in wardrobe,remember if you remove the problem that will be the end of the problem

Answer 2

Keep the shoes up out of his way or in the closet with door shut. Get some chew toys for him only. Dollar stores have them. Dogs also like old socks to play tug of war with. Pet stores have dog toys also.

Answer 3

You can't stop a dog from chewing on things. The best thing to do is go to the pet store and buy your dog a bunch of toys to chew on. If he keeps doing it after you get hin the chew toys get something that will make a loud noise, like a can with change in it. When the dog chews on something he's not supposed to, make the noise and say no real loud. It should scare him from doing it. When you tell him no, give him a toy that he can chew on. Keep doing that until he learns to chew on his own toys.

Answer 4

Your dog eats shoes because he needs something to chew on. direct his attention to something else to chew on such as a ball, rawhide bone, some sort of dog toy for chewing..If he keeps chewing on the shoes get him some behavior training to change his behavior. Check out dog training books or websites for suggestions or find a good dog training class or trainer for him...

Answer 5

Give your dog other things to chew on, like a toy with a bell or dispenses treats or a rubber show I saw at a store once or just an old one. If you don't want to buy much, just get an old sock, fill it with treats and let the dog try to get some treats out.

Answer 6

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/J27jk

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 7

Dogs chew shoes because they like the feel and taste of leather. You stop it by keeping them up off the floor. Simple

Answer 8

needs more teething toys, try this thing they sell at pet stores, its red and you can put peanut butter inside, they come in different sizes, don't get one too small, your dog could choke, it will really occupy your dog. Also, you can get these bones that aren't real bones, but they look real, they are really hard and don't splinter. They are great too and last forever, and last but not least picking your shoes up will solve all problems;o) Good Luck!!!

Answer 9
