| Oh bad memories!! Reyna dug/ate up (still not sure what she did or what she was thinking for that matter) a little hole in the drywall...straight into a nail. That was weird. She chewed up the corners of the wooden cabinets. And also chewed up baseboards, carpet...anything. I just pointed at those things and said "NO NO" for a few days. She's moved on to chewing on my fingers and toes....HAHA! we're working on that one now. Good luck! |

| My dogs dont do this thankfully. They do chew up area rugs however. I have heard people sy to put deodorant on where they are chewing and they will stop.

| Mine did the same thing and I used the bitter apple and I also used palmolive liquid soap and this one really worked. They hated it!

| As I have said before, I found out about the antiperspirant on You Good Dog You show. used it with my boys and one application did the trick. Everyone that I have told about this and has tried it, it has worked for them. Just get a clear stick antiperspirant and apply on the areas that he is chewing on, one taste and he won't do it again. Good luck. |

| I wonder if the pup hears mice or other life behind the walls? The yorkies are dedicated vermin killers. |

| Charlie dug a hole in my drywall. We are thinking that maybe he heard a mouse and did his best to get at it. I'm thinking about putting wainscoatting (sp?) up instade of redrywalling. |

| Princess didn't, but our Rottie sure did, clear antiperspirant works great! It even stopped Mandy.
