I had a friend with a golden that loved to steel tissues out of purses and napkins too. it was a therapy dog and would take them out of peoples purse if you were not very watchful. I have another person whose dog had the same infinity this a lab. This person taught the dog to nudge her every time she found one and would be rewarded and give the person a chance to react before it was digested! smile... it took a lot of practice and daily reinforcement but it worked. Her difficulty was to find a reward that higher than the tissue and paper addiction....
