thanks guys, Bitter apple and McNasty.. might give that a try if I can find it. generally I wouldnt put the coat on during exercise, however he sleeps inside at night and in the mornings and evenings we go for a walk, in winter it is sometimes bitterly cold at this time or/and raining. So i put the coat on to keep him warm and dry (same reason I where a coat ) however after the walk i leave him outside, inside is only for sleeping. That is when he destorys the coat. thank you all for your replies!

Hi All, I have a 12 month old Doberman and for the past 9 months we have been trying to get him to wear a dog coat, because of the cold, and wet weather Particullarly when walking. The problem is that he dislikes the coat. When walking he is fine, but if he is left with the coat on he acts like houdini and gets out of it, then continues to chew it up. He bites the front strap and pulls it open then the rest is easy. He is an outside dog mainly, so we would like the coat to stay on during winter but he keeps destroying them! Does anyone know if there is a spray like DOG OFF, that can be applied to the strap that will not be too strong because it is only 10-20cm from his nose? perhaps not a sent spray but something that reacts to taste. Or any other suggestions?
