| Save the Flip Flops!!! Spicy has eaten countless flip flops this summer. The house rule is to put them away the second they are off your feet. But, with 3 children...the youngest being 4...this doesn't always happen. Any suggestions on how to train Spicy to not eat the flops? He roams the bottom floor of the house when we are away and that is when he will chew any stragglers he finds.

| May be easier to train the kids to put flip flops up on top of something. Puppies are hard to train not to chew because of their little toofers! Good Luck!

| Put them in a closet? Basket? Box?

| Have you tried spraying them with bitter apple or "Yuck"? It's worth a shot.

| I've never tried the bitter apple on them. I may do that. I thought he'd be better this summer...he's almost 2 but he still loves to chew them up. We have shoe baskets. It's just a toss up on who will train faster, Spicy or the kids!

| I bought mine a pair of rubber flip-flops of her own in a tiny size. I'm not any help, am I?

| I got a shoe tree when mine were younger and put it by the door and as soon as we came in the door we put our shoes on it including my daughter. Now that mine are older they never chew up shoes but when they were younger they liked my daughters shoes

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Spray the flip flops with Bitter Apple. It works for all my shoes. The bitter apple dries and the shoes taste aweful to dogs.

| Roxy doesn't eat them, but she shakes them to death. She killed my dtr's prized pair of Rainbows. She is absolutely posessed when she attacks one. Pretty scarey!

I had a little chihuahua when I was a little girl that would hang on the back end of the flip-flops as I was walking. It was so funny! She left a million tooth marks in them.

| All our flip flops have a million tiny tooth holes in them. I don't have any small kids, but DH and my 15yr old were hard enough to train. We throw them over the baby gate into the kitchen where they are safe. (the flip flops not the fur butts)
