Quality couch time or, perhaps, attention in general.
And since you're not giving it to him, he's doing everything he can to find a way to get it.
It's a negative tactic, but effective.
Would you like to break him of it?

[ so smug mr will graham ]

Yes, I would. I'm not ignoring him... he's only been here since last night.

[infomodder]

[He knows his dogs, all right?]

Put the dog outside, if you can. Otherwise, lock him in a bathroom or something similar.
Fetch your clothes from the couch and put them back exactly where he found them. Same drawer. You may want to put them in plastic bags, too.
Use a protective sheet, like wax paper, and cover the clothes with it.
Get a citrus, like an orange or a lemon, and cut it up into thin slices. Scatter them on top of the sheet, because dogs do not cope well with too much citrus scent. If you used 3 lemons, there would be a better of chance of it getting through his skull.
You could also add a mixture of ground and cayenne pepper underneath the citrus slices. Cayenne pepper is actually good for them in some regards, but they don't appreciate it like this.
Let him back in and act like nothing is out of the norm. Do not do anything off that you haven't done.
Wait for the barking and look of betrayal.

Is this an elaborate way of pranking a dog with lemons and pepper?

[ just asking, because she'd be willing to do all of that (what the fuck is wax paper other than the name on the tin) but she wants to be sure this achieves more than barking and looks of betrayal

particularly as she is really unfond of looks of betrayal, even from puppies over being thwarted from stealing her underthings ]

[infomodder]

You could call it that, even though it works for what your goals are.
Finding lemons and pepper in a spot that used to be, in his mind, completely fair game, is a deterrent. He'll realize that you don't want him in your clothes. If you have them in two or three drawers, it might be a good idea to do it in all of them.
And then he'll avoid them and thus the idea of stealing clothes and stuffing them in couches seems less fun.

[lyingheart]

Okay. I'll head to the store in that case.

[ training like this is a very strange thing, but she can get an idea of the logic within it, when he's explaining this way. ]

[infomodder]

You may also want to pick up some vinegar and biodegradable coffee filters. Those will come in handy if he continues to terrorize other features in the house.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

[lyingheart]

Where should I have him sleeping?

[infomodder]

[Will's room tbh]

Where does he usually sleep?

[lyingheart]

I'm not sure. He lives with Thundercracker. Probably on a dog bed in a warehouse. I let him sleep on the bed last night, he was tired.

[lyingheart]

Will? Would you be able to watch Rex while I'm in classes?

[infomodder]

If you weren't given specific instructions and are comfortable with him on the bed, let him sleep on the bed.
And sure thing. I'll take care of him whenever you need.

[lyingheart]

The bed it is.

Thank you. I'll bring him by before school - when are you at the shop?

[infomodder]

I'm usually here around 6 in the morning, even if I don't open til later. That should work for dropping off before school, shouldn't it?

[doge he'd be there at 3 for doge]

[lyingheart]

Yes, it does. Shinjiro might come with me, depending on how much time we have. Thank you again.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[ yes, yes you will. Will. ]
