Is your dog a sock burglar and are you constantly waiting for him to pull his next big heist? Has your dog turned his post-crime caper into a game he plays with you, chasing him around the house trying to get him to let go of a stolen treasure, like the Keystone Cops?<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t have to be that way. There are games you can teach your thieving pup that are also preventable security measures in themselves, so these alternative behaviors become part of our lives together instead of caper after caper. Check out these three games.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
Always trade up<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Start a history of trading objects with your dog as soon as you can and maintain trading up with him for life. (However, don\u2019t harass a dog while they are eating a meal or chewing on a safe object.) During play with an object is when we can safely introduce trading up.<\/p>\n
First,<\/strong> figure out what your dog\u2019s favorite toy is and then get a second identical toy to begin trading with him. Also, figure out what food items you can use to trade up for toys and different items your dog has in his mouth. Will a biscuit work? Will it be worth trading for a sock to your dog, or do you need a piece of meat to encourage the trade to happen? Ask yourself and figure out, \u201cWhat is my dog\u2019s motivation? What do I have to motivate my dog?\u201d<\/p>\n
Trading up is simple:<\/strong> When your dog has something in his mouth that is of value to him, get something of greater value and trade up for it. The next time your dog takes something like a sock, get something to trade up. Then, instead of chasing your dog, get his attention and show him what you have to trade. At the exact moment your dog drops the sock he has in his mouth to take what you are trading for it with, mark that with the verbal cue \u201cDrop it\u201d and reinforce that with what you are using to trade up with as a reward.<\/p>\n
The great benefit to always trading up is predictable outcomes. I know many dogs that when they have something in their mouths will run away. I also know a greater amount of dogs that have always been traded one object for another that do not run away, and out of those dogs there are a handful of them that will get something in their mouth and go to where the cookie jar is.<\/p>\n

Seven-month-old Cirneco Liberty Belle is the fastest shoe thief on the East Coast. But she does love turkey bacon and is willing to drop the shoe and trade up for that meaty goodness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n - \n

Take it\/Drop it<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
First,<\/strong> if your dog has a favorite toy (a rope toy, a ball, whatever he enjoys) get two of them. To start, give your dog one ball and as he takes it in his mouth say, \u201cTake it.\u201d Next, present your dog with the second ball. As your dog lets go of the first ball in his mouth, at that very moment say \u201cDrop it\u201d and then hand him this second ball. When he takes the ball in his mouth say, \u201cTake it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Repeat this<\/strong> as often as your dog is having fun trading one ball for another with you as you narrate the action with these two verbal cues. I have two rules with this game: The first is that we are always building a reinforcement history and the second is always having fun without frustration.<\/p>\n
For some dogs, the first item may be of great value to them and they do not find motivation in taking an exact similar item in exchange from you. This is where you need to figure out what motivates your particular dog, meaning you have to raise the value of the item being traded for what is in his possession at the time. That means trying different types of values of food reinforcers\/motivators (beef, chicken, fish and cheese, for example), so we understand what holds individual value to our dog.<\/p>\n
Helpful hint:<\/strong> If you play fetch with your dog and he doesn\u2019t drop the ball when he brings it back to you, use two balls and play the Drop it game mentioned above, but without the take it part, because it\u2019s fetch.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
Leave it<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Leave it is not a threat.<\/strong> \u201cLeave it\u201d is a promise that if you do not touch it, you get something else instead. There is zero need for intimidation (yelling, threats, scare tactics or startle effects) to teach a dog not to snatch something. \u201cLeave it\u201d is not about panicking, it\u2019s about protecting your dog from possibly ingesting something that could harm him.<\/p>\n
I teach \u201cLeave it\u201d as an initial way of allowing my canine students to learn about naturally occurring disengagement and reinforcement. When a dog disengages from the target object (in or underneath my one hand), I hen reward with something from my other hand (normally from behind my back). We progress to where I can drop an object and quietly request a dog to \u201cLeave it\u201d and he anticipates the following reinforcer. This association helps dogs learn if they do not touch it, they get something else instead.<\/p>\n
About reinforcement<\/h3>\n
You get what you reinforce.<\/strong> If a dog enjoys being chased, then chasing him reinforces that behavior. If the dog enjoys trading up, that reinforces that behavior. Reinforcement both drives and builds behavior.<\/p>\n
Do not snatch things from dogs \u2014 this is not so much a rule but an ideology. If we never snatch anything from a dog, and we always trade up, the dog will never feel the need to avoid us when he has something that he shouldn\u2019t. We will also have a history of trading up with our dog for objects, and our canine learner will associate this behavior with us instead of escaping from us after his next big heist. By doing this we will prevent stealing and running from ever happening at all, and our dogs may even anticipate trading up with us and reliably do so for life.<\/p>\n
LEAVE IT VS DROP IT<\/h4>\n
\u201cLeave it\u201d is used to request a dog to not touch something and \u201cDrop it\u201d is to drop something they already have. These are two different things: one for not touching something and the other for dropping something they already have.<\/p>\n
