Get a bottle of Dave's Insanity and splatter it all over a "bait" shoe like a cruddy old sneaker.  That'll learn 'em.

not sure if i need to say this or not, but DO NOT give him "his own shoe"
that will just reinforce the idea that it's okay to chew on shoes.
the bait sneaker might be an idea, but just make sure it's always baited.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I'm obviously not a very good dog trainer, as I would have beat him a breath short of death with said shoe.  

I didn't go this far, but my lab got a few licks from said shoe.  He ate two pairs of my dress shoes, a few flip, flops, a couple pair of Danner Goretex Romeo's.  Each time he got punished with said shoe, and the intervals at which he ate shoes became longer over time.

He is now 18 months old and hasn't eaten a shoe for 3 months or so.  His behavior in general has improved dramatically over the last 3 months or so.

He pissed you left him home alone....all the chew toys in the world won't keep a dog from getting back at you when they wanted to go with Daddy....

I have heard of the bitter spray. I think I
Might try it out. And I think he was missing me cause I hadn't been home all day and he had chewed my shoes for about 6 months. Oh well

I've never had my Choco Lab chew up anything he wasn't supposed to.  My breeder told me to play with him with some old sweat socks. Then while a Pup, tie said socks to chair legs, table legs or whatever and let him chew away on the socks.  Seemed to work, he'd chew hell outta them socks but leave whatever it was tied to alone.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

Mine chewed on the arm rest in my truck "ONCE", beat his a$$ and he never did it again.
Chewed on the leg of the rocking chair "ONCE", again, beat his a$$ and he never did it again.

We provided lot of chew toys and played with him with the chew toys and he loved it. He found that if stayed with the chew toys he was OK, but if he got ahold of some thing else he was not supose to he got punished. I think he learned quickly.

I guess the worst thing is that he loved to chew on "tree bark". He would grab some cedar bark and chew on it and drag it in the house and leave bark all over the house. He even started to rip the bark off of the cherry tree in the back yard.

When my last dog was a pup, he had the whole house all day, with another dog and one cat. He chewed all sorts of stuff including: Most all of my wife's left pump shoes....just the lefts...(I told my wife her right foot stinks...)....the dog ate a live lamp cord off. Ate it off. Still plugged in, copper wires sticking out nearly touching. Maybe a foot of wire missing. He chased the cat up a shelf, cat knocked the decorative glass top of our wedding cake off the shelf and onto the floor....ate half of the glass cake top.   Ate half of the glass.  Dog got my wallet one day....chewed every license and credit card into mungy. That dog crapped everything out and went on to live to 18 1/2 years...(after I beat the living crap out of him multiple times).  Still, the coolest mutt around. God I miss him! Even though he peed on me in public.

Yeah my girls will still do that to both my wife and i. its there way of saying @#$% you for not taking us with. the thing that worked for us was catching them in the act and either smacking them with the object on the nose or spraying the bitter yuck straight in to their mouths. i tried the spray on objects and it didn't work but directly in the mouth and they hated it. it works for some dogs and some it doesn't. :twocents:

Never had a problem with my lab. She is 1 year old and has never really chewed up anything that she wasn't suppose to. Other than that she only steals the dryer sheets from the laundry. lol. That is about it.

Golden retriever ate brand new softball mitt. I showed it to him explained why he did not chew on my things then opened his mouth nice and wide shoved it in there and duct taped it closed after about 2 hours took duct tape off, let him drink some water showed him the mitt he pissed on himself and we had a good understanding never chew on anything again unless I give it to you. So for 14 1/2 years we only went through one mitt

I put a shock collar on my dog.  She was getting on the table for food.  I left a nice piece of steak scraps on the edge and watched though the window until she got up there.  I shocked the living hell out of her on a 5 out of 5.  I dropped her to her knees.  I wasn't around so she didn't know it was me and she no longer gets up on the table...

By the way, that's how shick shadel does it...  Beer = shock.  Beer = shock.  Beer = shock.  Sooner or later your mind gets the point.

Damn Ice man! your dog sounds just like the dog in "Marley and Me" .....however I can relate, the first rottweiler I had chewed EVERYTHING, in addition to all of his toys. I came home from work at lunch once to find him in a pile of what was left of one of our couches, now it was just shards of foam and a few sticks that used to be the couch frame, another time he got into the laundry and chewed the crotch out of about 6 or 7 pairs of my (first) wife's panties and in the same session had chewed the corner of the bathroom door off enough that I could put my hand through the hole when the door was closed, then another time he decide to lay his wrath down on one of my big Cerwin Vega home speakers the ones with the pair of 12" speakers in it, completely ate the box and the insides of the speaker up, FUBAR'd the metal frame of the speaker and bit the magnet in half!  Eventually he turned his tasted to the out doors at my dads farm and he and my wolf  cross killed and ate various parts of three 400-500 lbs caves my dad had been raising. at the site of that Dad 30 Cal-ed both of them :dunno: who knew?
