    Default Dog only has issues during sexytime! Help!

    So my boyfriend and I have noticed that my male dog (the older of the two) steals his boxers and takes them under the bed while we're having sex! But, if his boxers are on the shelf (yes, he pulls them OFF the shelf which means my dog is not only smart but conniving) and there's no sex happening, he won't be stealing boxers.

    I should note that Jesse the Ewok is my first dog and therefore wasn't properly trained the way a dog shoudl be, and I've had him since 2002, when he was born. He has always stolen my underwear and chewed on the crotch, and in fact I've had to throw out several pairs due to crotch holes, which I used to call "convenience holes".


    Anyways, my little Ewok seems to have a 2 part issue as I see it:
    1. He rather likes crotches of underwear and taking them under the bed to explore/hoard.
    2. He seems to pursue (climbing up on a shelf to do so) my bf's undies when I'm a moanin'.

    What's going on here? Is this his way of asserting dominance over me to my bf, even though it's clear I'm the alpha? Or is something else happening?

    Just for the record, this is the culprit we're discussing: (now you know why his name is Jesse the Ewok and not... Gizmo.)


    Love it!

    I had a problem with my dog chewing my underthings, but i made her feel really bad for it by holding the undies to her face and saying NO super loudly and it eventually stopped. if i even saw her going NEAR them i gave her a stern and loud NO. she'd look at me like "awww shit, that's right i'm not supposed to do that, sorry" and she'd sulk off.

    Although all the training in the world still doesn't seem to keep her from chewing on tampons left in the trash next to the toilet. LMAO just too good for her to resist i guess!

    I think you should set it up so that he's got access to it but in a spot where you can see it and then you and your boy start doing it but just keep an eye out and if you see him do it you just gotta stop what your doing and give him a firm NO and hold the boxers up to his face so he's clear that he needs to leave the boxers alone. Then show him a toy and when he starts focusing on that then reward him with a "good boy" and some petting or a treat.

    could be an anxiety thing tho... maybe if you gave him something else to chew on like a bone when you start doing it that would help him create better emotions about what you are doing. You know... like conditioning him to be happy about doing his own thing when you guys are doing it.

    I definitely don't think it's a dominance thing or else he'd be jumping on you guys and being more assertive... it seems like this is something that is being caused by fear or anxiety perhaps he's confused as to what he should feel about whats going on... like you know how people bite their finger nails when they're nervous - or get fidgety when their thinking about what to do?

    I'm a freak when it comes to training dogs... i have a Pit Bull and it was imperative that i train her better then just "well" for safety's sake. Even when it comes down to small issues like this! Just keep trying and he'll get it eventually. Anyways, those are a few techniques I'd use....

    BTW he's so cute!!!

    Male dogs can act strangely towards human males. You dog may see him as competition.

    Is your dog neutered?

    He probably smells the sex smells and that triggers off this behaviour.

    Lots of dogs like hoarding or chewing crutches.

    It could be worse. My dog walked up and licked the back of my ex boyfriend's balls when we were having sex. He wasn't impressed LOL

    Paris - he can't reach us but he actually HAS tried to jump up on the bed during sexytime action. And it's funny you said anxiety, because I *do* have an anxious dog, just not him. It's the female that's the anxiety ridden one. Jess is the higher intelligence level dog, more susceptible to the loud No and the in the face boxers which we've done. And he's sorry... until the next time.

    Jai, he is neutered. Yeah, I'm thinking that's what's happening. I tried watching the dog whisperer to see if Cesar covered it. he didnt. (but what were they gonna show, people having sex lollll!)

    Love it!

    You know I like that chick on "it's me or the dog" have you watched that one?

    Oh and did you show him something to do after you gave him the no?

    if that doesn't work then maybe just throw him treats while your doing it as long as he's not going for the boxers... LMAO, that would be a pretty funny sight.... but it might work?

    Anyways... sometimes we just gotta think of extra things to do to reinforce what we want them to do... sometimes positive reinforcement is overlooked when they're doing something bad. Another thing that can so easily be overlooked is showing them positive behaviors to replace the bad ones. Like training your dog to sit when people come in the door to replace him jumping on people. That's why i thought maybe introducing a toy might work... anyways, it's hard to offer help when you don't know what is already being implemented

    I'm not perfect when it comes to training mine for sure... sometimes it helps to brainstorm on paper things you haven't tried yet. There's a solution out there... if you just keep looking there is something that will work! I hope it comes soon for the sake of you and your boys underwear !

    Many dogs will have a tendency to chew underpants. They find crotch odor irresistible, and women secrete all over the place, so, you know. Don't be too hard on him. If you want to train him out of eating your panties try wearing them and then bitter appling them (inexpensive underwear, of course) while keeping the non-bitter apple panties out of his purview. It could work. Just make them taste bad and he should get over it.

    For your boyfriends panties - the dog is probably just feeling stressed and it's his way of bonding and dealing with the issue. Dogs are sometimes sensitive to the noises and stuff associated with human sex, mating for dogs being kind of a different experience. My little puppy mill dog used to sit on the floor and gaze at us mournfully, whining slightly, thinking (we imagined) "You really shouldn't breed her like that." If he is crate trained, put him in a crate before. If he is trained to go to a certain spot (our dog is trained to "go to his bed") send him there. Give him boundaries of things he has to worry about

    I'm wondering if your reaction to the stealing actually reinforces him if he is attention-seeking. If he's jealous of bf being the center of attention, then the dog might have found an effective way to divert attention back to him.

    Yeah, chewing is a stress behavior. I'd just give him something else to chew the next time you're sexing.

    Chewing is a stress behavior? Reeeally? Hmm... So it's not Mr. 68 that brings this out in him? He (as far as I remember) didn't do this with other guys' stuff.

    Love it!

    I have never owned a dog and know nothing about them. But why can't you just close the door?

    I just googled really quick, so this isn't a great article, but: http://dog-training.suite101.com/art...roblem_chewing
