| Chewing When does the chewing stop? My 13 wk old yorkie.. Chews on everything! From my older dog, to the wood on our couches.. our doors, she chewed up the corner on our new computer desk. How can I stop it.. She has LOTS of toys and bones. |

| I wish I knew the answer as well, Beau was 19 weeks yesterday, he chews my sofa, and worst of all, he chews the carpet threads up where the carpet meets the tile/linoleum. He loves carpet. |

| Hmm... Mine chews, but not any furniture - just rugs, my clothes, shoes, purses, anything else. I would try spraying bitter apple on it. http://www.petedge.com/shopping/prod...ctID=1778&AS=1 you can get it at just about any pet store.

| My dog is 7 months and from this day he has chewed up my moms wooden chairs to her table. She gets so mad and says that one day when were eating dinner that were going to be sitting on stools instead of chairs. I bought some spray at Petco but i have only noticed a small improvement. Me and my mom think he actually likes the taste. |

| WELLLL..l guess its nice to know I have a "NORMAL" Yorkie! HAHA!! Mine is 4months old and so far she has... Chewed thru a lamp cord, chewed thru USB cable, chewed the vacuum cleaner cord....ALL unplugged! Has made a small hole the couch corner, destroyed one toy, (today) Chewed on the leg of a TV tray, and corner of the computer stand. Chewed on two corners of the baseboard in the utility room. Chewed two corners of her crate. She has tons of toys, and chewies. All the chewie bones, she has buried, along with her puppy biscuits. I found her on one of my pots on the patio, and I am thinking if I repot any plants, there probably isnt any hope for flowers. Not to mention the flower bed lawn sprinkler bubblers, she has brought into the house. I recently bought (yesterday) a bottle of bitter apple at PetsMart. I, also, read on this forum, you can rub deodorant on furniture, to prevent chewing, but I havent tried it. So far, she sure does NOT care for the bitter apple spray. I have also taken someones advice and have sprayed it on my sleeves, and hands to prevent from being eaten!!! PLEASE, PLEASE tell me, THIS shall also pass......EVENTUALLY! Chelsea'sMom |
