Use clear rollon deodorant. It works much better than bitter apple!

I had the same problem with Meeko. He loved bitter apple. I start rubbing a little bit of Tabasco sauce on things and he wouldn't go anywhere near it. He hated the smell of it. I only used a little bit tho because it has a very strong smell and I didn't wanna hurt his nose.

I've always used white vinegar. They hate the smell and the taste is awful. Neither of my boys went anywhere near anything that had vinegar on it.

Vinegar didn't work for me, just bought bitter apple. Haven't tried it though. I will keep the deo & tabasco in mind. I have plenty of tabasco since I live with a house full of cajuns!

Giving a paw's up to gel deodorant. Works wonderfully....
