thanks for all the advice.
unfortunately ted LOVES bitter apple. so i saw on other post to try deoderant, tobasco sauce etc. I have bought several bully sticks and flossies which are made of bully sticks just shaped in a fun spriral shape that he LOVES. so i put a bunch of toys, bones and bully sticks on the floor. he's stopped chewing on my shoes, thank god
perhaps, hand lotion would work! and i'll put it on my feet as well...that i'm sure stuff tastes bad!
