Ok, so Katie Scarlett has a habit of attacking a faux house plant we have and chewing on her leashes. The house plant has one limb stripped bare. We've tried shaking the can of coins at her and that worked for a while. Now she just looks and goes on about her business until we chase her off. I read where so many had raved about bitter apple spray so we got some. I sprayed the plant with it as well as her leashes. All she did was lick the plant even more and then attack. She still continues to chew on her leash. This chewing kept on immediately after I sprayed so I think she likes the stuff. Go figure! LOL
So anyways, I was wondering if there is anything else we could try? I read where you can try a mixture of water and white vinegar. But all I have in the house right now is apple cider vinegar. Would it hurt to try that? I also read where you can mix hot sauce with water to deter chewing, but I am in NO WAY doing that!!!! I just don't know what to do. When she starts chewing we try to direct her to toys, but she will always go back to chewing on what she shouldn't. I caught her chewing at the wall the other day. I know she is still in that puppy chewing stage and will be for quite some time. I am not losing my patience with her or anything, but I wish I could get her to stop chewing on the leash especially. I am willing to remove the faux house plant all together, but obviously I cannot take away the leash. I have to have that for walks, training, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
