How to make dog from going under bed - YorkieTalk.com Forums

cheeselover8481 · 08-17-2007, 04:49 AM

My co-worker has a dog that runs under the bed to play. She wants this behavior to stop but they can't catch her. Anyone have a suggestion on how to stop this behavior?

The easiest thing to do would be to put things under the bed so that the pup can't get there.

We did that with my dtrs bed as all the computer wires and phone etc were under their. We just used underbed storage containers until my husband could run all the wires under the carpet along the baseboard.

You can probably get the boxes at Walmart.

Mesure the space under the bed and go to your nearest Homedepot and have a ply wood cut to fit under its what we did with buzz because we have to keep him in the bed room. It did the trick to keeping him from going under.

Or just cram unused pillows and blankets under there...

Ours is crammed full with stuff and Molly will still wiggle her way under there. Since she also likes to hide under the couch, I've started leaving her leash on her. When she's somewhere she's not supposed to be, the leash is usually hanging out and I'll just grab it and pull her out. It's only a temporary solution, I know...

Ellie used to use the bathroom under my bed. I just put flat storage containers under there so she can't get under.

I had the same problem with Cocoa and I stuffed pillows and blankets under there but over time he found ways to wiggle under there still so, I suggest maybe getting storage containers or the plywood idea suggested earlier...great ideas!

Charlie was doing the same thing - we discovered he had gone potty several times under the bed. We blocked underneath the bed using a combination of boxes and books. Charlie was still trying to get down there so we taped notepads around the whole bed. We can't get down there to store stuff, but neither can he!

I have storage boxes under my bed & Sadie never even tries to go under there. But at my parents house, they have nothing under their bed & she's under it all the time.

Yes, Pepper would run under the bed and hide (where I couldn't reach him

) if he saw a comb in my hand or if he'd hear a water running (=bath time). He could spend 2-3 hours just laying there (and mocking mee, I'm sure

)> The only thing that worked is stuffing bags and containers under the bed (out of season clothes e g)...

My sweet Monday used to leave me "treasures" under the bed ....

I had a baseboard built all the way around. Now she cannot get under there.

Before that I had boxes and stuff under there to keep her from going there .... but it got so dusty!!!
