| Cords If my dog is nearly six months by now and has shown absolutely no interest in electric cords, do you think there's a fair chance he won't ever be? I've been careful with keeping Oliver away from cords but there are places I just can't get them out of his reach, like sometimes my cell phone charger falls off the night stand, and there's also a cord running from one wall to the other for my television. He's never tried to chew them and he actually ignores them completely while he's playing. My room had to be rearranged for new furniture and now my printer is on the floor and I'm a little worried that he might try to chew on the cord, but since he's never tried chewing other cords I'm not sure if I have reason to. Thoughts? Also: I know I can never be too careful. If I ever catch him near the cords, I'll of course move the printer. Also, he is very rarely unsupervised in my bedroom. He's only in here when I am, and he sleeps either in bed with me (he cannot get down) or in his pen. He doesn't have access to the cords except for when I'm awake and can watch him. |

| You have to be careful. Chachi never chewed cord either and then all of a sudden he chewed an xbox cord. Luckily it wasnt plugged in

| There are cord covers that provide protection. Just a thought.

That's what I was going to suggest. I have them, and although my boys have never chewed any cords, it's added peace of mind knowing they can't get hurt.....just in case.

| I keep all of my cords out of reach. Mine have never had them available so I don't know if they would chew them or not but they sure can surprise you. Sugar is 3yrs old- certainly not teething and one day while on the computer I hear (I think) him chewing his bone. When I turn around, much to my surprise, he was chewing the corner of a book case! The lovely thing is a few days later I caught Spike doing the same thing. I guess it looked fun.

| behavior Just when you think they would never do something, they do it...one of my grooming clients Yorkie was 6 yrs old and never, ever went near the front door, then one day she ran out and got killed by a car...makes no sense. |
