Re: Dog Issues

I just naturally assumed dirty. Unless the dog can open the top drawer. We said yesterday that dogs eat cat and horse crap, so dirty underwear wouldn't be that suprising. Something has to grab the dog's attention :eek:

Re: Dog Issues

Ya'll need help!!! :p <br /><br />For the record they are boxer briefs. (Joe Boxer, FTL)Hanna likes them clean or (used???). But to further clairify for the deviants with us, she also likes hats, socks, shoes, dish cloths and towels.<br /><br />If you tell her to "drop it" whatever is in her mouth she typically does. That is why I thought it might be an instinct issue. She has been caught jumping on top of the dresser and going into the dryer to get clean ones, and can open the sliding closet door to get the others. <br /><br />Hartz makes a spray I have been using but she eventually gets over the bad taste and off she goes. This is a headstrong dog.<br /><br />I hope this covers your vouristic needs, and provides you some additional info as to the life struggle I am into with this dog. :)

Funny thats what my wife says :D <br />Pointer I've never been a believer in train in a bottle, or other "buy this" remedies. I think it comes down to you and her.

A no no in hunting dogs, the bird could still be alive. make her put it in your hand. "give"

Re: Dog Issues

Bitter Apple worked for me (or for the dogs). they will always look for something else to chew on. But you can keep them away from the good stuff. <br />They (dogs) love attention. Consistency. Don't let them get away with being lazy and "almost" obeying. Make them do it the same way everytime.<br />Pretty easy to teach the basics...Sit, Stay, Come, Heel.......then you can add NOW!!!!!!!

Re: Dog Issues

Tie one of the offended items to her collar for a day or so. I did that to my neurotic Irish Setter and he hated the things from then on. . . never touched them again.<br /><br />Might work on Hanna, too.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
