What is it with dogs and shoes? Sniffing, licking, chewing... yuck. But, apart from potential expensive footwear damage, it became impossible to put on or take off our shoes. She'd pounce and grab and chew. All shoes had to be immediately stowed in the closet and socks stuffed in the hamper.Brian came up with a way to tame the shoe fetish. One time, while she was playing 'attack the shoe'...the shoe attacked her! He didn't actually hit her, of course, but chased her and smacked the ground around her. It worked like a charm. She no longer attacks shoes. Sometimes she runs away when I'm taking them off but then she'll come back and lie against them and even fall asleep on them. But, most importantly, she doesn't chew them and we haven't lost a single shoe!
