natjoel Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have a four month old border collie puppy who keeps on eating and pulling on our new carpet and biting our furniture. I have tried using the bitter spray but doesnt seem to work, can anyone give me any other suggestions, as its costing me a fortune. He has heaps of toys, but just seems to love things he isnt allowed to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvMyCav Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 My boy used to love the fringing on our living room rug. I used to regularly rub Vicks (chest rub stuff)around all the edges. They don't like the taste at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't like the taste at all. I've used soap as well. Just plain soap, though, as a friend used lemon scented & their dogs loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmoo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 try putting deep heat on things your pup is chewing that you dont want to. it will heat up in the dogs mouth, unless your pup is a glutten for punishment it should stop the chewing on your furniture. i used deep heat on my skirting boards to stop my labrador pup from chewing the wood. it will not harm your pup but you need to apply a thick layer. give your pup lots of frozen bones and tetthing toys to help with teeting or the chewing problem will get worse.

Dame Aussie Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 We have the same problem with our 4.5 month aussie, she'll be playing with a toy and then evertying will go quiet and we'll look over to see her trying to eat the carpet We've been giving her frozen bones, frozen kongs and loads of toys but shes chewing like mad at the moment! I'm thinking I'll try the deep heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
