Thanks for all of the tips, I really appreciate it. And I just ignore negative people, I'm not June Cleaver and I don't pretend to be. They aren't healthy. I spend about 8-10 hours a day with Lucy and I think that is a lot of time for a 20 year old to give an animal. I sprayed bitter apple on cords and stuff that she was chewing but she kept chewing on it anyway! That was a couple weeks ago now and after my consistent "no"s she has practically forgotten the cords were there. I have tried the hold her mouth shut thing and this works only momentarily for me. Since I spend so much time with her, I have all this time to thinkup ideas so i tried growling at her like I imagine a mom dog would do and this has seemed to work sometimes. I also always see pictures of wolves and dogs with the younger ones snout snuck in the others mouth, so I have tried this too, which I guess is along the lines of biting, but I don't bite down on her. I am just relieved to know it is all because of teething! I was worried that she was turning into a mean dog. I am going to try freezing the cloth with chicken broth. I also have a bunch of socks that are missing their mate so I am gonna knot those up and give them to her to chew also. Oh, I have also tried the yelping thing and this works pretty good but only when she is play chewing. Thanks again for everything, yorkietalk is a life saver!
