kelpiecuddles Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Mine have never tried and they've slept in the bathroom with the toilet brush fully accessible Edited November 3, 2013 by kelpiecuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Mine have never tried and they've slept in the bathroom with the toilet brush fully accessible Amazing! Every pup I've had has done it several times. I've always just lived with it and let the behavior extinguish naturally. My present pup also steals the brush holder, and I'm beginning to wonder if she'll ever give up. Maybe it's a Lab thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Maybe, but I have a basset and they are shockers for following their noses too. Maybe it's the type of loo cleaner you use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 My pup did it for weeks, sometimes we would find it out in the back yard ( we had a doggy door). It started when he was about 10 weeks old and we still had 2 of his sisters here with us and continued for a month or so. I never made a big deal over it and he eventually stopped doing it.

Christina Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Do they all do it? Is there an easy solution? No they don't all do it. There are 2 easy solutions. 1. Always keep the bathroom door shut 2. If above not possible put a small corner shelf up high & keep the toilet brush on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YvonneM Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 My boy never stole the toilet brush and our ensuite door is almost always open and he's an indoor dog - but he did have a thing for stealing the toilet paper - I shouldn't have laughed but it was so cute to see him jumping up to catch the end of the toilet paper roll and the times that he was successful he would run away with it - a trail of loo paper out the bedroom and up the hallway! Wish I'd had my phone handy to catch it on video :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 never and if they do then shut the toilet door, it's that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Never for me either, and I have a lab :) He does spend a lot of time sniffing the bathroom drain though. We actually keep the toilet brush in the separate toilet and the door is always shut, so he doesn't really have opportunity. Maybe you could find a spot in a cupboard or something? Under the kitchen sink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuffles Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Mine will steal anything that's not nailed down if he's not being supervised. Hence he's always supervised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliecat Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 My pup LOVES the toilet brush. I don't know what it is about it, but we just leave the toilet door closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm not worried that the pup takes the toilet brush. It cost less than many of her toys, or alternative things she might chew, like shoes, and she doesn't destroy it. Could be a little embarrassing if she paraded it around the living room with guests present, I guess. But I don't have that sort of guest very often. With past pups this has lasted a month or so, so it's hardly worth training time. I'm surprised by how many people never have this problem, if it's even a problem. The toilet paper on the other hand, goes up on a shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I had a naughty lab puppy at one stage, but she never once stole the toilet brush or the toilet roll. She would nick off with other stuff though, like my sunnies once and wanted me to chase her :laugh: Now as a sensible mature adult, she only nicks socks/slippers/shoes and brings them to you as a present when you get home :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Never has. But there isn't access to the loo unless she follows me in. Then she's only interested in the shower drain or sniffing around whilst your on the loo. Which tickles and is seriously annoying, even the cats do this! Why?! I don't sniff them.

RubyStar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 My dogs aren't allowed in while I go to the loo or have a shower - that is ME time :laugh: They do wait right outside the door every time, though. I'm so mean :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
