Tri Colour Collie is pulling the clothes off the line when we out.. When I am home he doesnt touch.. How do we stop this. She doesnt eat them just takes them down. When we come home she runs away she understands it is wrong .

Yeah I agree, I dont think she knows it is wrong. Dogs dont know right from wrong. All they know is what is fun, what feels good and what feels bad.Sure they learn our responses to certain behaviour and if she has gotten into trouble for this behaviour in the past she has learnt that she will get into trouble again, but she still cant help herself as to her it is a game and it is fun. She does it as she is bored. So I agree take the clothes off the line when you are out and make sure she has interactive toys to play with. Kongs and squeaky toys are great because the dog wont get too bored with these sort of toys as they offer reward in the form of food or noise.

I used to point hold their mouth and point their nose towards a t-shirt that is already on the ground, and say "no", "no" a few times each day, not sure if it helps all that much as I am not an expert trainer but does help to a degree if concentrated on all the time I guess.

Dog behavior is similar in many respects to any other animal behavior. Dogs are generally less defensive and abrasive in behaviors. Why do people love dogs than other animals?
