<---fellow sock robbed victim.........screw what these people say, my Rowdy is as close to "bingo" as you get so its not a poorly trained dog situation, whatsoever, listen to the man who knows, Cesar Milan, I read a newsletter/guide he put out years ago ( followin him for a while) and he agrees, even has a answer on why, its a scent thing, your lil buddy loves ya so much, he dont see "smelly sock" its a way to have momma right there, so close can taste it, I.E. security blanket ding ding and he wins the game!!!!!!! all ya others, with your judgements and negativity, then pervo..not even gonna touch that one, can go get educated........Mary, be grateful, but more importantly, set up a "sock safe" (hamper on a dresser, top of closet etc) thats what i did now numbers down to minimum......good luck

Spray Bitter Apple (available to Petco/Petsmart) on the socks. It will make them taste very bitter and the pup will soon get the hint to leave the socks alone.

Don't use socks as a plaything. If he had them as a plaything as a puppy, he still believes that socks are to play with, and will take them any way that he can, because he correlates them with fun.

Well go to Petco or any place for animals buy skeaky toys and give he/she to them and tell your husvband or go to a store to buy a shoe racket if you have old dirty socks that dont fit you give them to your dog instead of throwing them away if this dosent work go to the animal hospital

Your dog needs basic training. There's a command call "leave it." That would work, but the best thing is to take a good class, and learn all about obedience yourself. You won't be able to train your dog until you have an understanding of dog obedience training.

My dogs is aware of my sons identify. I ask her to seek out Oskar and she or he runs to him. It's traditionally due to the fact he's best a toddler and i am consistently pronouncing his identify, and had been at home most of the day so she's hearing me name his name so much :)

You can have a spray bottle filled with water around and when he does it, just spray his face. After doing that for a while he should quit. That works for anything that you do not want him to do. It's a safe (and cheap) way to discipline him.

Our dog used to chew on things and one of our friends told us to tie whatever they chew to their collar..seems kinda harsh but not really...they get so annoyed with it! (tie it close enough to were it doesnt hang down so they can still chew!) anyway, they get so annoyed that they literally give up the battle we had our dog trained not to chew in less than a month.

Sounds like you're getting off on it. Some sort of fetish.
