How do I stop my Border Terrier from chewing my wooden furniture
She (Petal) is still less than 1 year old, and has chewed all the dining
table and chair legs in the kitchen, which is where her bed is.She has
completly chewed off the gallery rail from one of our kitchen display
cabinets, the bottom knobs off a chest of drawers, and the edge of the
carpet by her bed. The ''anti-chew'' spray we bought made no
difference at all. l honestly do not think that she does this as much as she used to.Is it something that she will eventually just grow out of?.She does have plenty of chewable toys to play with.
they giving her a bone that she likes then u go out. i do that
for my dog it has stopping him chewing
go to your pet store and get some STOP CHEW,,its a spray that
really works try it good luck,,,,,,,
This stuff works great works on my pitbull puppy who loves to
chew on lots of stuff. Grannicks Bitter Apple spray i spray it where he
chews and he backs right up. it tastes nasy lol! try it you can get it at
petsmart!
you can buy a spray at pet stores called Stay Off it worked on
my Jack Russel Terrier
theres this stuff in a can for cats or dogs.u spray it, say by
a door.& it will make it where they wont go by the door.we tried it for
our cat.it works good!!!the can says it helps train them to not go where u
spray it.thing is after a while i dont think it works anymore.you can get
it from walmart.it in a can like spraypaint.the top is purple.i dont
really know what its called tho.its in the pet aisle somewhere.
Sounds like she is bored - is she getting enough walks?
Try a rolled up newspaper tapped on the nose EVER time you see her doing
it combined with an ''Agghhh!!'' - soon she will react to the Agghhh and
you wont need the paper.
First thing you need to do is take her bed out of the kitchen.
To stop her from wanting to eat the things she shouldn't sray vinegar on
the items or use a paste made with Alum & water. Vinegar is a natural
substance that won't hurt the dog or the furniture as it is quite often
used for cleaning. Alum is a preserative spice that can be purchase at
the grocery store. Most premixed sprays or deterents purchased from pet
stores have little effect & are a waste of money. The best thing about the items mentioned above is that they are cheap & in most household cupboards. Along with this teach her the leave it or no chew command. Give her appropriate things to chew, rawhide works well.toys do not.
CRATE the damn thing!!!!
CRATE when not under DIRECT SUPERVISION!!!!
NOT ''breed'' related!
ANY/EVERY dog will destroy ANYTHING if they're ALLOWED TO!!!
PS:Borders are nifty;I am getting another the end of the month.
kicks its teeth out!
Antiy chew spray works a treat it has a citrus smell which cats
and dogs dont like it really works my aunty had a border terrior and she
tried it with him and it worked.
I would think that ur puppy should be done with teething? I
give my 4 month old lab ice cubes to chew on. This helps with the swelling
of her gums & with the pain!!
My puppy has plenty of toys as well but I have to watch her constantly!!
Do you give ur puppy raw hides to chew on or bones??
Out breeder told us to use Deep Woods Off on anything we didn't want our puppy to chew on. I have used it & it works for us!!! I am going to even try it on a tree outside. I will put our lab outside for a few minutes tied to a steak & she will chew the bark off the tree. I am going to spray the tree & see if that helps. I really like the spray!! It has helped with the chewing on my furniture. Good Luck
My Boston Terrier did the same thing when he was a puppy. We
kept giving him chew toys & he eventually grew out of it. He ruined our
cabinets, some doors, two of those wooden gates, all of the kitchen & most
of the dining room chairs.
You can try, if you see her doing it to reprimand her. I have also hear of
spraying the anti-chew spray on ur finger then putting it in her mouth. Never tried it. But for one she should not bite her owner, nor would she like the taste. Either way, she will eventually grow out of it.
The following is adapted from the article, PREVENTING
DESTRUCTIVE CHEWING By Sarah Wilson, Greatpets.com
All puppies chew. What you can control, both for his safety & ur sanity,
is what the pup chews. Controlling unwanted chewing is not difficult. Here
are the basics:
* Accept the Inevitable Your puppy will chew. He isn't a bad puppy. He isn't defiant. He is just a pup. Some pups, like Retrievers, chew a great deal for a long time. Many such dogs can not be left unsupervised until they are two or more years old. Don't rush things. Behavior is much easier to prevent than to change. * Supply Good Toys Good toys mean safe, long-lasting dog toys not used human items. Dog toys teach him to focus his chewing urges on rubber, nylon or non-splintering bones. Used human items encourage him to seek out fabric or things that smell strongly of you. * Supervise If you can not see him, you can not help him make the right choices. He has to be in ur sight all the time or confined (during the training phase). If you see him starting on a table leg, tell him sharply (not loudly) to ''Leave it!'' then redirect him to a toy & praise him. Whenever you give ur dog a 'No,' give him a 'Yes' as well. * Deter There are plenty of anti-chew products that a pet owner should apply to all electrical cords a pup can reach. That way, if you miss the moment, ur pup will not be hurt & he will get yet another lesson in what should not be chewed. Such simple measures will get you through puppyhood with minimal damage. WHY DID MY DOG START CHEWING? ''My Yorkie Toby, who is now 10 months old, has always been a very good puppy up until last month when he started chewing on everything in sight. He has ruined many shoes, belts & furniture & doesn't understand why he can not continue chewing on what he wants. How can I train him to chew on his own stuff? Toby has tons of chew bones & toys, but isn't very interested in them anymore. Is it time to replace his toys with new ones?'' SARAH'S COMMENTS Since Toby was a nonchewer up until last month, this situation begs the question -- what happened last month? Did someone move out or in? Did a work schedule change? Is he chewing when you are home? Does he make sure you see him chewing or ''sneak'' off to chew? Regardless, here is what I would do: * Keep him in sight, on lead or confined in a crate or small room. * Put away things he likes to chew. * Keep doors closed to rooms you do not want him in. * Work on his ''Leave it'' & ''Out'' commands. * Teach him to work for a living -- perform a positive behavior in order to earn attention, food, treats, walks, & playtime. This will help establish you as leader & prompt him to pay attention to you. * Give him more exercise. * Stay CALM when you see him chewing. If need be, let him drag a leash around attached to a FLAT, nontightening collar WHEN YOU ARE HOME so you can easily get a hold of him to CALMLY remove the item if he chews on something. * When possible, apply an anti-chew product at items he likes to gnaw on. * Stuff a sterilized bone or small Kong toy with cheese or peanut butter. Kongs are excellent chew toys. For creative ways to use them, see http://kongcompany.com/how2use.html * Rotate his toys to help keep him interested in them. * If he is on puppy food, consider changing him to a good quality adult food.
Give her a chew bone and when you see her doing the bad
behavior tell her no in very stern voice, than give her the chew toy this
should work.
Go to any Pet smart or store and get what is called Bitter
apple. It is a natural spray that you spray where your dog is chewing and
it won't hurt then. Also training classes will help you get the knowledge
you need.
