| We had a problem similar to this. Ellie would find a little snag of carpet and turn it into a big one. We ended up using pepper and it worked. It was the only thing that did. But if it was just random spots she focused on I'm not sure what we would have done. Good luck. |

| My yorkie did the same thing to our rug.. we just ended up giving it away cause I was scared she would swallow them and they'd get tied up in her intestines.. when I worked at a vet clinic.. they brought a dog in that had died from eating thongs... so Im always scared about what she eats.

| Piper just got busted doing this tonight. We had a problem with him pulling on a snag and chewing up the carpet right after we brought him home and I thought he was over it but just about 2 hours ago I busted him with carpet fibers everywhere and the snag has grown again. He went running into his crate when I said his name so he knows it's wrong...just hope he'll let it be again until we move in 4 days!!

| use solid deodorant. We were on vacation and Tucker started in with the area rug. I freaked, because it wasn't our house and he loves the taste of bitter apple. Then I remembered someone on here suggested using deordorant, and it worked like a charm! Just rub it where he chews and he'll leave it alone.

I would try cayenne pepper the hotter the better. I've used this before and it worked. Hope this helps. Good Luck | |

I read on here that this works too but haven't tried it because Piper will lick my armpit deodorant off of me if I let him...freaky, I know. So maybe I'll just try the hot stuff
