Chewing up everything!!

[bkuck]

My lil Lola is such a great little 3 month old...almost totally trained to her pee pee pad, so smart that way (thank God!) but she is chewing anything she can get a hold of especially my wood on my ottoman and couch....she has a bunch of toys and chew bone that she also chews on.....so how do I get her to stop chewing on everything?? Need some advice real bad! Thanks in advance.....

My puppy is 13 weeks old and he is the exact same!! I mixed apple cider vinegar and water 1:1 and sprayed it on anything we didn't want him to chew. It's a lifesaver!!! Hope that helps

I found this in another thread...MISTY2015 wrote it


I found that mixing half apple cider and white vinegar in a spray bottle the applying to all possible chew areas helps a lot because obviously dogs hate the taste and on another note it also prevents accidents in the same areas and eliminates the scent of pee

Thanks for sharing my post Maxdog and quoting me for it. I really appreciate it. But yes the mix with all vinegar really helps for both peeing and chewing.

Limit her access to anything she likes to chew that she shouldn't...and always redirect her to her chew toys. Does she have a lot of different toys to choose from?

Bubba was a chewer. He chewed everything, furniture, power cords, computer wires, and anything else he could find. Even though he had a whole basket of his own toys. The commercial sprays didn't phase him. Nor did vinegar . The only thing I found that worked was roll on deodorant. After a couple of tastes of that he avoided those things. Yes, I know, I'm mean but better a nasty taste than electrocution. Bully sticks also helped to redirect him.

There are still some signs of the damage (the rocker and an end table ) but he doesn't chew things anymore.

Thanks for all the terrific ideas! I will definitely try that vinegar and cider spray stuff and yes she has a lot of toys .....she's very spoiled and she has a chew bone .....whenever she chews on furniture or cords or anything she's not supposed to,we tell her NO ! and put the chew bone in her mouth to chew on and tell her that is what she is to chew on but that doesn't work very well!

I have a chewer also. I tried the vinegar. Didn't work. I'll try the deodorant next! I catch her chewing doorframes and baseboards and also chewed my grandmas rocker I have. That made me mad! Lol. She has chewed up all of her toys that are stuffed and her bed! Yes, anything she can chew she will.

Buddybear loves his bully sticks, antlers and stuff toys. He won't touch a nylya bone. They all have their own preference.
