venting... so i wake up this morning to our normal routine, and about a half hour later i realize that madison has been really quiet :D and i havent seen her around. so i go into the bedroom and find her happily chomping away at my cell phone charger :( ...which is in multiple pieces (and still plugged in). i dont know how she didnt electrocute herself :confused: , but this is the 3rd cord she's chewed through in the past few months (2 laptop chargers...not cheap). She had seemed to stop for a while and not chew on any cords, but now shes back in the habit. Any suggestions for how to make her stop/learn that it's not okay. Of course i disciplined her as soon as i caught her in the act...but is there a preventative measure? I definitely try not to leave cords on the ground, but she sure is sneaky :aimeeyork ! |
I just when through that with two of my puppies. They chewed up 3 phone cords and a couple of lamp cords. I just try to keep the cords where they can't get to them. I try to keep plenty of cow ears down for them to chew on because I have noticed that when the cow ears are gone then they are more apt to chew on things they should not. |
I've never given her any of those...maybe i'll try and pick some up. Thanks! |
Um just a suggestion......... Maybe pick them up where she can't get to them??? Puppies are just like Kids and you need to Puppy proof your house... Rather than scold her for doing it.. Just tell her no chew, take it away and give her something she can chew on.. :D |
Yea, I've puppy proofed everything i can...but she is very agile and jumps up onto my bed, crawls on the sidetable and gets at the cord... she should be in a circus or something haha |
I get these treats for my babyhttp://www.betterthanears.com they are softer than pig ears and less smelly plus less fat. They are pretty chewey and take a little time to chew but they work for smaller dogs because they are thin! |
Banjo has chewed my cell phone charger cord, and my cord on my key board! I got a cordless keyboard,after that!LOL! Also I put my keyboard box,under my desk-to block him off from the other cords! I was thinking a getting a little fence or something to put back there. I do have an Island in my kitchen that has an electic plug- half way up- and try and charge my phone there or in the car, now! I kind of looking for options , too! I am amased they don't get zapped! |

Not only can your Yorkie get shocked from cords they can Hang themselves.. Please Puppy proof your homes.. and Pick up things they can chew on... |
Libby started chewing on cords around Christmastime. I sprayed bitter apple on all my cords and she's left them alone since then. I'm going to respray again one of these days to make sure the stuff doesn't wear off. |

I feel for you, but I can't reach. :) I'm going through the same thing with Matty Lu. She chewed through my mouse cord, two phone lines, and my DH's speaker wires. I watch her all the time, but she is fast and has teeth like razor blades. |

mocha used to do that. she went down to the core wires in my phone charger and laptop charger and i think she may have shocked herself because she does not go near a cord anymore. she's fine--happy and healthy (i had her checked so many times), but i think she scared herself by doing it. i keep cords in cord organizers (plastic tubes) and i buy her a ton of toys to chew on and bully sticks. she chews them happily. |
I had this problem with my big dog...I think Stanford is too old or disinterested to engage in this! I found that any cords I had near the floor were getting chewed. I used bitter apple spray, discipline...all to no avail, as I could not be home all the time to monitor TJ. My partner finally solved the problem with a roll of electrical tape. Gathered up dangling or trailing low cords, and secured them in a tight loop with the tape. The other cords I put behind furniture, or up higher. The minute the cords were secured, the problem ended. It pays to be in a relationship with a person who can see the shortest distance is between two points. LOL Good luck. Matthew |
