| Biting furniture My 6 month old yorkie continues to bite our furniture and I don't know how to get her to stop. Could she still be teething? I am so clueless and need help/suggestions on how to stop her from biting our furniture and she also chews on the corners of our walls. |

| Could still be teething. Get her some bully sticks to chew on. Try Bitter Apple on the furniture where she chews.

| I have another suggestion Try getting some wood for your dog to chew on. Mine doesn't chew on furniture anymore since he's not a puppy, but he did and someone suggested to me to get a small piece of wood that doesn't have any chemicals on it (some wood does). Another suggestion is chew toys like those ropes. As far as treats, there are nylabones that mine really love. They make them in different flavors. Good Luck. |

| bitter spray everything he has put his mouth on and rub peanut/almond butter on some rubber toys who would try to eat furniture when rubber feels so much better on your mouth and Gatsby was still getting adult teeth at 6 months he just lost got his last adult teeth at about 10 months but he stopped chewing at about 7 or 8 months

| Our knowlodge of things grow every day we learn things that we once though where ok and good to be not good and ok. We have a lot more knowlodge about animals now because we have more and more people studying them. therefore they find out stuff we once thought didnt damage or hurt them actually does

| Both Fergus and Callum are furniture chewers, even though they have tons of chew-y appropriate snacks. I think its the eye level quality of my desk and my Dad's dresser that made them so appealing. I wanted something I knew was edible, but would deter them: I used hot sauce. Neither of them likes it, but it didn't hurt them. just disuaded them from doing it again! I took a dab on my finger and rubbed it on all the open wood (where he took off the finish!) and they NEVER went back to it. My Dad tried the same....but make sure its a REAL hot sauce, not like a spicy barbeque or wing sauce. (My Dad used ZING sauce first, and Callum LOVED it! LOL), but once we went to tabasco (Or chahoula, at our house) they stopped immediately! And it was right there in my cupboard, no expense, no trip to the store!
