I agree with DD, just pick up the laundry and put it all in a hamper where she can't get to it. We childproof our homes for children, we should puppyproof our homes for puppies . That being said, every now and then one of my boys manages to drop socks around the house. We just taught the puppy to bring it to us in exchange for a treat/praise/lovings. Kinda neat when I can tell my boys they ought to be ashamed of themselves that a puppy has to clean up after them .

As for the second issue, shut the bathroom or bedroom doors. As DD mentioned, you can also tether her to you but teach her an opposing behavior, like "down" (as in lay down) and "stay" and reward her. Once she learns it well, your children can practice it too.
