Don't beat yourself up too bad, all turned out well, thank Goodness. Fair warning on the Bitter Apple...yeah, it tastes bad...try getting some on your finger...everything will taste like that for 2 hours, regardless of how well you washed your hands!!! ---but within a day they'll be back to chewing on whatever you spray it on, despite it's claim it won't evaporate like other similar sprays. It's great to stopping immediate chewing, but I wouldn't trust it for electrical cords for more than an hour or two.
I had a kitchen chair leg the dogs kept chewing...I saturated the part they were chewing...they went over and went to chew it and backed away trying to get the taste out of their mouth...a couple hours later I go back in the kitchen and they were knawing the very spot I had sprayed.
I'm beginning to think it's an acquired taste for some dogs!!! lol
