I give up

That's funny!

I take it you have a chewing problem. What have you tried ?

That is sooo funny.

Sprays etc. Any ideas very welcome please.

Someone we know from the showing world uses chilli powder mixed to a paste as a chew deterrent.

Cribox, you get it to stop horses chewing their box. The thick paste is best, but it is difficult to clean off, not so good for soft furnishings. The thing I don't like about using chilli plant/powder is it can be nasty if they get it in their eyes.

Nice one, is that also a DH on the bottle?

Murphy used to chew the wooden garden furniture and my sons big golf net, he put mustard
on the edges, the licked it off!
My advice, give up, they don't listen, if you don't want it chewed, don't let them near
it!!

Your picture is hilarious but the chewing is not. My experience through this stage taught me to: remove anything being chewed & replace immediately with something that's OK to chew. I should have bought shares in the company that distributes Bully Sticks, I also bought any toy that the dogs would safely and happily chew. I think nearly frozen chicken backs is helpful for sore gums and a great chew. Restricting the indoor range movement of puppy is important as sometimes whatever is at hand close to bed -walls, stair railings, chair legs, cushions, door frames all become fair game. Outside isn't entirely safe either I've had garden hoses,deck boards and trees chewed. A friend with a Dh who was really bad for chewing spent a lot of time indoors in a double sized X-pen when she couldn't be supervised.

I love it

I worry about wires, electrical leads ect. I am very vigilant ATM as Murray is still partial to a chew of whatever he can find and Carys being a puppy is very chewy. Although it is annoying to find that they have chewed something like your slippers, remote control ect I would be devestated if they electrocuted themselves

That picture is just to funny

Elsie Grey chewed & chewed...... I tried mustard but it just added a bit of spice & made things even more yummy

My bed used to have round wooden balls on the bed posts (sounds rather strange if I say so myself!) they are now rough & square shaped & the head board now has a frilly design!
She also chewed:
lap top cable x2
sky cable x2
ate 2 phones
most of the books once she realised she could not read & there were no pictures!
She ate a nice fireside rug
Arms on the sofa
etc etc

It made no difference that she had an overflowing toy box & kongs & chews
So I just cleared everything in sight & Deerhound puppy height and eventually she grew out of it

Thank goodness im not the only one the picture was hilarious and sums it up perfectly .We tried Cribox but to no avail the various potions were a waste of money,weve lost phones we caught murron eating one then when she got the second one we realised that it was when it rang it took her interest and it got eaten then chairs, one antique one, laptop,slippers (just the old ones)mustve smelt better teats for lamb bottles, belts and the latest is wellies but just round the tops so they look frilly!!

Now that is defiance. With Lockie, we just replaced whatever he was not meant to be chewing with a chew bone. He did cause some unrepairable damage to the bed rail but it has added to the rustic charm Overall his chewing wasn't that bad.

I was going to say, was it you with the chewed bed, we saw the evidence when you posted a picture!

Murphy's list= designer sunglasses, my sandals, handbag, nst of tabls, kitchen chairs (corners) garden chairs, garden table, slippers (lots of slippers) babies toys, the knob on my dresser, plastic spoons, dogbeds. He just stopped one day and has never done it since, I think about 18 months, around the time we got Paddy the terrier, who duly took up the post of cheif chewer, we actually call him chewy.
I found this morning my work boots chewed near the zip, now how he got them I don't know, as I always put my shoes in the cupboard and laugh when he gets the kids trainers, it's their fault for leaving them around. Now the theory is, Murphy opened the shoe cupboard, Paddy got in, ate the boots, Murphy shut the cupboard. The plan was for Paddy to get a telling off whilst Murphy looked smug, what do you think?

We are on our second pine kitchen table. The first one had corners that were nicely rounded
off. The ball shaped bits on the top of the pine chairs were a hazard to any decent clothing.
On a couple of chairs the spars had been chewed almost all the way through which made them
dangerous to sit on.

I refuse to buy kitchen tables, they are all donated. The first one came from a friend at
work and then on the works intranet she advertised another pine table free to collector.
I expressed an interest in it and when she asked what had happened to the first one, which
I had only had 12 months, I had to explain that the dogs had eaten it. Very embarrassing.

Corners of the kitchen work tops (and this has been done by Cara when she was FOUR!)

We are on our third dog settee in the kitchen. They have eaten the others.

The mail is another favourite and last night and tonight, Finnan has taken Alan's passport
from Alans office and had a good attempt at customising it. (I wish Alan would keep his
office door shut.)

Too, too, funny! I know how frustrating chewing can be. Two of mine, when pups, have chewed the siding on the house, multiple toys, an extention-cord, a pair of Bolle sunglasses, a football, tennis balls, and a couple of seat belts in the back of the van. Then they settled down and it was just a few toys. Then two, at ages three and seven, chewed the remaining seatbelts in the van. The only one intact is behind the driver. They never chewed the furniture, or my shoes. So I guess I've been lucky--so far that is.

This is so funny!................

Well, only the photo…
Have you ever tried Grannick´s Bitter Apple?
It works fantastic when dogs have a hot spot, do hair chewing etc.
We haven’t tried it on furniture, but maybe if you try it on a
favourite toy ?!?!

Over the years my lot have distroyed all sorts,
from the 5 grand kitchen to my mobile phone,

we dont buy couches anymore as they like digging in them whilst we are out of the room,
so we end up with second hand, they cant have beds as they distroy them, so sally army
do duvet covers - blankets and the like for a quid each, one of my dogs is partal to the plaster on the walls, we have got her now to only do it in the dog room, tried different potions to stop her, she liked them,
a couple of them are partal to chomping on the coal, and quite often pinch it out of the coal bucket and spread it everywhere, they got hold of my mobile last year and distroyed that,
then one of my males bruno, decided he wanted a dog door, so head butted the back door and took a panel out, as pups they chewed the wires to the fish tank, carfully taking the plug out of the scocket first, theres probably lots of other stuff they have done, but have forgoten about it, it wouldnt bother me as much if they was young, but the eldest ones turn 12 this july and they still enjoy pinching and chomping on things,
oh and our micky if i take him to a friends house - enjoys rading her veg rack and pinches her spuds, not to mention peeing on her clean washing ,

they do have toys they can chomp on, but they do enjoy a nice raw meaty bone,
it takes them a while to get through it, but it does tire them out.

Here's a link to a product on Oz ebay

I have to say this, but why do you all seem to let your animals on beds and sofa's, especially if they seem hell bent on destroying them.

I love my dogs, but they have their place. I never had nw sofas when the kids were tiny, always 2nd hand, usually from my brother in law who bought nic stuff and replaced it very couple of years (his loss, my gain!) When we moved here, after being married 15 years I ordered my first new sofa, black, leather, expensive. There is no way I would let a large DH on it, to dig it, scratch it or chew it! I have gates to stop thm going in the front room, they come in when invited, they can't get upstairs, yet alone get on any of the beds.

If any of the plaster were to disappear off the wall, that's it, kennels would be built!!! I don't live in a palace, but it is 'my palace'!!! it's all I got and I am not living with 2nd hand sofas again for any dog!!!

You need to have happy harmony on your home, dogs happy in their place, you happy with nice intact furniture!!!

I can see my Nan turning in her grave reading your posts, she was so house proud!!!

My dogs have there place as part of the family, our house is being re renovated so if they chew the old plaster off the walls it dont realy matter, my lot dont go upstairs thats where the cat lives and he hates dogs, so they arnt allowed on beds, its one thing i dont allow,
have you ever tryed to keep 9 dogs off furniture, especaly when theres no carpet down, as the house is being done up , they only sratch the furniture when i am out of the room, when we go out of the house or to bed - they are in the kitchen,
i would not be able to have kennles hear - to much risk of the dogs being stolen, we have a travelers camp not a mile down the road, and with lurchers being very high risk of being stolen, its one risk i would never take, you only have to look at the lurcher search website to see how many are stolen every day.
