My dog has been told off many times for stealing socks. He still does, but it’s just to bring them to me. It’s like he can’t stop himself, but he’s found a workaround. Go pull a yummy stinky sock out of a boot, enjoy it the whole way to me, place it at my feet and wait for a pat.
I’ve been folding washing and he’s pulled one out of the basket next to me and then placed it down at my feet.
My dog did the same, so I just taught him to bring me my socks in the morning. Either yesterdays socks lying on the floor or I’ll toss a new pair on the floor for him. When he gets excited for walks he’ll bring me socks. When I come home he brings me socks. When I take my socks off because it’s hot, he’ll bring them back… but at least he doesn’t chew them anymore. And he loves the little chore.
