What's With Dogs And Shoes?

So my family members always complain that our puppy is obsessed with their shoes. When you leave your shoes she steals them and starts biting them. So today I go outside and there comes the puppy and starts biting my shoes while still on my feet. It was fun at first but she was becoming too rough. I kept spinning in circles trying to get my shoes out of her mouth but she had a tight grip with her teeth 馃榿. I wanted to continue playing but I couldn't. I didn't wanna run her over with the wheelchair heels馃槄

Dogs are ruled by smell. Shoes have concentrated scent. It's just the way things are. Be gentle and give her other things to chew when you take away the shoes, she will catch on.

@karysma Also, scolding after the fact has a different effect on the dog. They understand much better if they are told "NO!" while they are acting out the bad behavior. They don't mentally backtrack in time the same way we do.
