| Gracie is a termite! (problem) I'm wondering if any of your dogs do this. Gracie chews on wood, like the side of the door. I've also caught her chewing on the footboard of my bed! I bought some bad tasting spray but it only lasts temporarily, I'm just wondering why she has this strange craving. (here's a picture of her in action)

| We have antiques all over the house, and Cisco recently chewed up an eagle footed table (he chewed the eyeball clean off..) worth about 8 grand. Andy (my hubby) was not amused-thankfully he loves the dickens out of Cisco. I try not to give him complete run of the house, but Andy always undermines me, and lets him run through the house so I fear this won't be the last mishap The photo of Gracie is adorable, but I know how aggravating it is. |

| My Laila loves to lick/chew on the table chairs. I just push her away from them when she does and encourage her to pick up a rawhide or toy instead. Good Luck! She is adorably mischevous your little Gracie

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Sailor likes to chew on wood as well, it used to be things in the house, but we sprayed everything heavily with bitter apple and that stopped most of it!!! Now she just likes to chew on sticks or bark in the backyard!!

| My mom's yorkie Rocky did that when he was young. Right after he was potty trained and they thought they could leave the house on night to go eat and let him have roam of the house he chewed a little on everything with wood in their house. Kitchen table, Kitchen chairs, entertainment center...everything. Sorry I don't know how they got him to stop though. I think it just a phase. My husband and I just finished our house in Nov. and my little lucy has roam of the kitchen during the day while we are gone. We just put in new oak cabinets and I;m just waiting for the day that I come home and find the bottoms all chewed up. |

| I have three termites of my own That is a great word to describe them!! No matter how many chew toys you have they seem to zone in on the one thing you really would rather they not chew on. Mine were the worst when they were pups - although I just found the leg of my long table freshly chewed!! If they were big dogs they would've eaten the entire house up!!!! |
