Should I keep a water spray bottle as a deterrent in case fighting starts?
For our current dog when she was teething we would put this thing called sour apple wherever she would gnaw and we would keep frozen teeth-ers(obviously cleaned before stored) and we would let her gnaw on it under supervision it would calm her down for a while. She would however bite the sofa legs, the table, chairs you name it.
She was smart enough to not go near any cables or wires, although most were hidden there were often times one of us would goof up and leave a charger (cellphone) unattended.. |
I'm a huge fan of using the spray bottle because it doesn't hurt them. All that sounds good. Some dogs like the bitter apple spray so I think they make cherry or something now too. You can also always do a dog play pen hen you can't watch the puppy.
