So Gunnar, my Norwegian Elkhound pup, has been hoarding things in his bed :lol-sign: it's kind of cute, but a big nuisance because when I get up to take him out in the night at least one, if not both, of my slippers and shoes are gone. He never chews them, he just collects socks, pants, shirts, and most recently shoes in his bed.
We've tried putting everything up, but in the morning he has this mountain of stuff...he rolls in them and burrows in them but never chews them. I'm kind of confused as to how he's getting all these things into his bed (like I said, we put them up) and why he's doing it. We get him out for two walks per day, the second one is off-leash in the dog park and we do a couple clicker training sessions per day so I don't think he's bored.
Like I said, it's not a huge problem, it's mostly just funny. Especially when we wake up and he has this PILE of stuff on his bed, and then he looks at us with those "no I didn't" eyes, haha! Anyway, any insight into why he might be doing this and how we can help him not do it would be greatly appreciated...he has more toys than I know what to do with and he doesn't seem to care when we clean up his pile of stuff every morning....
