| Cooper isn't being good anymore!! Cooper was being such a good baby; we got him fixed and now it seems like he is rebelling. I'm not sure if the two are related, but he is still peeing on the pad and/or outside (depending on where he is). The problem is that he is chewing up everything!! He chewed up the wallpaper right off the wall! I have tried bitter yuck, but I think he might actually like it?! LOL What else could I use as a doggie deterent?!

| Bitter apple spray (pet store), deodorant (they hate that), tabasco sauce (though I don't like this but people have used it). Good luck and COOPER BE GOOD TO MOMMY.

| Have you tried crating him when you can't watch him? That will help with the destructive behavior. Also try lots of walks and doggie daycare once a week or so if you can find one. Loki comes home from daycare and sleeps for days.

| Clear roll-on deodorant! Works extremely well and lasts longer than commercial sprays. As Erin said, make sure puppy gets lots of exercise and is safely contained when you can't watch him. Also important: be sure pup has plenty of appropriate items to chew on. Redirect to a bone or chew toy when he is chewing on something he shouldn't. And, most important, be sure to praise heavily when he is chewing on an appropriate item. He's not being bad and he's not rebelling. This is normal behavior.

| I forgot to mention bully sticks. I buy the Merrick Brand "bully stix" Some stink, some not so much. These smell like beef jerky.
