Check out second-hand shops for some cheap shoes to sacrifice to the dog gods. In the meantime, hide your good shoes and maybe work on some 'leave it' training. Patience is a virtue with these shoe-lovers! And yeah, most dogs dig shoes, not just yours.

lol just let the dog have the shoes, saves you from going out and buying new chew toys.

RIP to your shoes...again. My dog had a thing for my Jordans. Had to keep them on the top shelf after the 3rd pair got destroyed. But seriously, look into getting a dog-proof shoe rack or something. And distraction! All about those chew toys and bones!

To be frank, you need to outsmart your dog. Provide more appealing alternatives than your tasty leather shoes. Consider high-value chew items, puzzles, and frequent engagement activities. Your dog is communicating boredom - listen and redirect.

just went through this with my lab mix, turns out she just needed her own stuff to chew. Got her kong toys and some hard rubber chew things and she's been leaving my shoes alone for the most part now!

Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs - redirects their anxiety & boredom. First, ensure your dog has plenty of exercise. A tired dog is a good dog. Second, you gotta puppy-proof your house. If you don't want it chewed, don't leave it out. Invest in a variety of chew toys. Observe which ones keep your dog engaged the longest and rotate to prevent boredom. Finally, consider a deterrent spray for your shoes and use positive reinforcement when they choose their toys over your belongings. Consistency is key here!

omg, mine too. I basically moved all my shoes into the closet, that was the only thing that worked. But also, lots of chew toys! And the RIGHT chew toys, keep testing until you find the one your dog loves more than your shoes.

haha i feel ur pain. my pupper is OBSESSED with my sneakers. try bitter apple spray on the shoes – it stops some dogs cause they don't like the taste. Also, maybe give your dog more exercise? could be pent-up energy. good luck!
